losing driver at boot G450
Hello,
I recently installed a newer hard disk and cloned the old one onto the new one-keeping the old one onboard as a backup. Almost everything seems to work OK although I had to shuffle around drive letters in XP. The problem I have is that my video card is recognised but no driver is loaded for it at boot up- OK, so I installed the driver again, but each time I reboot it doesn't find? the driver, it puts a yellow error mark against the card in system panel. Something must have happened in the hard disk switch but I can't see what. I have the following: completely erased the drivers and references to them in system32 reinstalled the latest windows-certified ones tried the matrox forum (it's down for the moment) Here is my system: XP Pro PIV 2.1 mhz Millenium G450 DualHead 1 GB Samsung ram TIA for any help Armando |

I would try uninstalling the card and drivers, then reboot and update everything again as the system recognizes the new hardware. |
