So my Matrox driver was being a freak and interlacing the display on my 2nd monitor and I decided to reload the driver. After I did so, I booted into XP x64 with the VGASAVE driver loaded.
I can boot the system in VGA mode, and last known good also loads the VGA driver. But no matter what I've tried I can't get the matrox driver loaded back up.
Things I've tried so far:
Boot to safe mode, remove matrox drivers, reboot, reinstall matrox driver
Boot to VGA mode, uninstall matrox driver, reboot, reinstall matrox driver
Boot to last known good configuration (loads VGA driver) uninstall/reinstall matrox driver...
The driver I'm using is an x64 driver and it used to work fine.
I saw this once before on a VIA chipset board with an integrated S3 video chip -
I fixed it and can't remember how... something pretty obscure.
Even when I swapped video cards on the VIA chipset system, (added in a NV card and loaded the driver) the VGASAVE driver would still load..
Anyone else run into this or have a good page I can visit to break the loop with this VGA/VGA SAVE driver issue I'm seeing?
Going back to a restore point is an option... I'd rather fix the issue though so I know how to deal with it again.
TIA -
