Check to see that your matrox card is not sharing a IRQ with another devicelike he SB live.. Keep the PCI slot next to your AGP slot open.. Did you install the new 4in1 VIA drivers and the AGP driver from AMD? If you can, send me your IRQ listing and I will compare it to mine to see if I can spot anything...

I bought a ASUS A7V with a AMD 800Mhz T-bird and I can play in 800x600 with my Matrox with no problems...Yes you heard me!!! NO PROBLEMS.... Anyone out there with a FIC SD-11 motherboard a word of advice... GET RID OF IT... I paid $344 for the combo with heavy duty fan and heatsink plus 2 day UPS shipping. Thanks for all your guys help... So now you can tell people that the SD-11 board does not support AGP card 32 megs or higher. The board does not supply enough voltage to the AGP slot. GAME ON!!!!

When I hear back from ASUS about the K7V-T and the Matrox G400 working together well I plan on getting a new board....

I was just looking at the ASUS motherboards, the K7v-t looks cool... Price does not concern me right now... I just want to play CM DAMN IT!!!! Thanks for the info... Any suggestions as to which board is the better one? I have an old ISA modem but I can get a new PCI one if need be...untill my DSL line gets here.... Thanks....

Does anybody out there have this combo? I recently found out from the help of people on this forum that the two are not compatible.. Is this true? If there is anybody out there that have this combo let me know what settings you have... I keep crashing out to desktop when I play CM and Vampire....

Downloaded the AGP driver but it still crashes... I have problems with other games as well. Like Vampire... Wha do I do know? Do I bug FICA to fix this problem or what?? I will contact them as see what happens....

I have a SD-11 motherboard with the latest bios N611. with a AMD K7 600. I installed the 4-in-1 Via drivers too. Also downloaded the latest patch for the SB Live. When I put the new Vid card in and if it still crashes then I know it's something else... What, I don't know... All I can think of is the file EMU10something for the SBLive is not certified in DX. I have a Logitech internet keyboard that I just put in about a month ago... But I doubt that's the problem.... I am at a loss as to what to do...

Here is my IRQ listing.... here are my IRQ's 00 system timer 01 standard keyboard 02 programmable interrupt controller 03 com port 2 04 com port 1 05 creative SB 16 emulation 06 standard floppy disk controller 07 printer port 08 system cmos/real time clock 09 acpi irq holder for pci irq steering 09 via tech pci to usb universal host controller 10 acpi irq holder for pci irq steering 10 creative SB live value 11 acpi irq holder for pci irq steering 11 matrox millenium g400 12 sci irq used by acpi bus 13 numeric data processor 14 via bus master pci ide controller 14 primary ide controller(duel fifo) 15 via bus master pci ide controller 15secondary ide controller(duel fifo) I downloaded the powerdesk version 6.04 drivers which are the latest certified drivers. The only file that is not certified is the SB live... I am about ready to rip this card out and install a G-force!!! The full game arrived today and I downloaded the 1.05 patch but it still crashes... I'm wondering if it's really my G400 thats causing the problem...

I found the ini file and deleted it.. Rebooted and installed a standard pci VGA driver... Then installed powerdesk version 5.52. Still locks up... I will get the latest driver version 6.04 from matrox and try that.. If that dont work I will uninstall my mouse and try a plain old mouse.. I just hope this gets fixed before the new game arrives...

When I reboot it finds a PCI/VGA adapter but then says found Matrox G400 and askes me to insert disk... This is after using the uninstaller.. How can I get rid of the inf file??

i have been using the uninstaller... No matter what driver I use it locks up and I get that ding when it does.. When i go to reinstall a driver it prompts me to install the Matrox Millenium G400. i have a AGP card. So I change it to the Matrox G400 AGP. Should I keep the first one or the AGP which I have..?? Could it be my mouse thats doing it?

I tried the latest beta driver and now the game locks up and I must reboot to exit... It still works in software mode...I am at a loss as to what to do next... I will see what drivers the othermatrox users are using... If you have any more hints let me know...

Well I tried putting the Graphics app in the bios to 64 and 32.. It was set at 128..Still locks up.. I tried switching my logitech trackman 7 marble wheelmouse with driver version 9.0 to a ps/2 port instead of serial..Still locks up..I took out my Gravis firebird joystick and put the keyboard in a ps/2 slot but still no go... My netx step is to try the vidio cache and see wht that brings me... I really hope the full game gives me no problems... any suggestions on what matrox driver works the best? Let me know if you can think of anything else...I am running Win 98SE. I hve a AMD K7 600, 128 mb ram, SBLive Value..

Heres what I found... Irq 11 ACPI IRQ holder for pci irq sterring IRQ 11 Matrox G400. Also Irq's 9,10,14 and 15 are being shared with other devices.. Irq 10 creative SB live irq 10 ACPI IRQ holder for pci irq sterring. Is this ok... I cant chang the setting.. It wount let me...Any other hints??

It locks up randomly.. Mostly during setup. I will check into the IRQ thing...Thanks....Will let you know...

When I try to play the game in either primary display option 800x600 or 600x480 the game locks up but the sound still plays. hitting ESC usually gets me out. I'm playing the Gold demo. I have the full version coming soon.. I'm using the latest matrox certified drivers. What settings should I have check in the options page? I have 32bit Z buffering checked...Should I disable this? I also have a SB Live value with liveware V3.0. Maybe this is the problem?? I can play the game in software mode but it is less clear....Any suggestions????
