Dear All,

I have been using with success the TH2GO 3x1680x1050 resolutions running on the nvidia 175.19 driver.
Recently I wanted to upgrate to the latest WHQL drivers ie 178.13 and 178.24....Unfortunatly I dont see the 3x1680x1050 with the new drivers :(((
I contacted Matrox and they have send me a new GMX software but I still can't make it work :((( Matrox (despite being very friendly) was so far unable to help me further. Please any idea ? please heeeelp
My system
Vista Ultimate 32bit SP1
intel extrem Q6850
4 GB Ram
2 x Geforce 8800 Ultra
3 x Dell 22'' screens

Thanks in advance for your help

I’d recommend performing the following steps just to make sure everything has been written properly:

1- Uninstall Powerdesk completely

2- Reinstall Powerdesk and look for the reboot prompt. When prompted, restart.

3- After reboot, verify that “Matrox TripleHead2Goâ€

For 3, you need to tell Windows to use TH2G's driver as monitor driver :

-go to Display Properties > Advanced > Monitor
-under Monitor click Properties > Driver > Update Driver
-Search computer... > Let me choose... > Have Disk...
-then point to the file GXM.ini in your Powerdesk dir (should be C:Program FilesMatrox Graphics IncPowerDeskSE)
-check Display Properties, your monitor should now be set to Matrox TH2G 8)

I have been trying to get it to work but their is no way. I have tried every BETA and WHQL driver NVidia has released since 177.41 (which works) and none do. Oh apart from 180.43, tried .42. There is a problem with the Matrox GXM. They sent me a new one which gave the option of 5040 but when selected put some monitors out of range....for me and another guy who I emailed the new GXM to.
So please Matrox, hurry up! we really need to get the 180 drivers working :)

Just to show MarkB that it is def a Matrox prob I installed 180.43 (it only has a little fix for FC2 compared to .42 which I had already tried). My PC works fine 5040 with the old NV driver but as soon as I update this is what I get

I can select 3x1280x1024 or 1360x768 but nothing higher. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
