Re: filmscanners: Matrox and Monitor standby

["Colin Maddock" <cmaddock@clear.net.nz>]

Thanks Jawed and Maris for your further comments about the problem here with 
the monitor Standby function hanging the computer.

I should have tried this earlier, but installing the latest G450 driver from 
Matrox looks so far to have solved it. Matrox say to delete the present driver 
in Add/Remove programs before installing another one, but when I did this the 
installation would not work. Eventually used the usual procedure of installing 
over the top, and AFAICS all is sweet. Had "screen saver has performed an 
illegal operation", but that only happened twice.

Your comments about Soundblaster Live cards noted Jawed. I am using a Creative 
Vibra 128?, and haven't had any problems that I know about. 

Not directly relevant, but www.tomshardware.com has a new article about how 
they think some of the Bios settings should be. Mostly the more esoteric stuff, 
but worth checking, I thought.
