I have BIG trouble with my Obsidian 100SB.
When I install the drivers and reboot, the desktop won't load. If I end the rundll32.exe via taskmanager, the desktop will show. When doing so, I can't launch display properties (It just won't load), nor start a game using the obsidian under glide or D3D.
It's the same procedure after every reboot.
The card is listed correctly in the devicemanager (as 2x obsidian secondary display adapter or whatsoever - I'm not in front of the system right now).
I tested several setups..
- S7 Ali chipset
- S7 Intel HX chipset
- Slot1 Intel BX chipset
- Win98 SE
- Win ME
- Quantum 100SB R3 drivers (latest)
- Quantum 100SB R2 drivers
Always exactly the same thing.
Of course I used the batchfile that comes with the drivers to clean old driver files and registry keys prior to install.
And I used a fresh Win Installation for the tests.
Way of installation:
Windows
primary VGA (Matrox Mystique)
Reboot
Obsidian drivers
Reboot, after both of the V1 chipsets are installed
The cards runs fine, if no shades are installed on it.
BUT it doesn't with neither my pair of shades, nor with a pair of 100% functioning shades, that I have from Gary, on it.
When I first tried to get it runnig (1 year ago or so) I had similar problems, until I tried to install it on a P3B-F -> that worked on first try
But I tried to do so again and failed
Even with the new shades.
What the heck??
I hope I get some help, I'm despaired
Thanks in advance..
