Well, I can tell you how to fix part of it: Open the
short cut to powerdesk and put quotes around the
path, that is, change c:\Program Files\Whichever\Whatever
to "C:\Program Files\Whichever\Whatever".
The fact that you capitalized "Temp" leads me to suspect
you did it from C:\Temp (or whatever your temp folder
is as specified in the environment, which you can view
from "My Computer" properties). If so, I quote the Matrox
page (liberally): Some users have experienced problems
running this install from the Temp folder. Unzip it
into another folder.
I would guess that the install writes temporary
files, which go into the Temp folder, and which step on
files in the install if it's in the Temp folder.
BTW, did you get the latest drivers as of Jan 15?
You got me on the properities. It was my assumption
as to where the properties would appear, which I should
have told you. I was drawing an inference from
their appearance in one or the other of those places
in the older Matrox Millenium setup. Now that you've
caught me, I dimly remember they didn't get integrated
so nicely in earlier versions of the previous drivers
either; they only appeared later on. Sorry, my mistake.
It's possible the property page will appear on the desktop
context menu (what you get when you right click the desktop)
once you get a good install, though.
I was thinking about trying it this weekend myself, having
all the parts and pieces now, but I'm not sure I'll get to
it. If so, I'll keep the thread posted (unless I can't
boot this sucker <G>). I'm hesitating a little because
I'm thinking of having a run at Matrox to replace my
.35 micron cards with .25 micron technology. Dunno if
they'll be receptive or not and dunno if I'll even try
it. So much time, so little to do ... <g>. |
