G450 Flashing Monitor

Hello there Richard,

Nope, sorry, I didn't make myself clear on that aspect. It doesn't matter
which of my monitors I have on the #2 output - they will both do the same
"flashing". I've tried both, I've tried lowering the resolution, I've tried
just about everything that I can think of - remove & re-install Matrox
software - roll back to older version of drivers and nothing seems to work
or fix the "flashing" issue. I thought that maybe it could be MS Office XP,
as typically I have Outlook in my #2 display - but that doesn't make any
difference either.

Suggestions??

Thanks for your responce.

Dario

Well, gentlemen, I have the same problem with a Matrox G450 Dual Head 32MB:
The monitors I connect to it are flickering when I move the mouse around
the screen, or when a program runs. For instance, if I play a movie in
Media Player, the screen is flickering like hell. Now, this effect is more
visible on my monitor at home, which is pretty old and tired, but it also
happens on other monitors which I tested, to a lesser extent, but IT DOES
HAPPEN. At first I thought maybe it's about some bad contact at the video
connector, but it's not about that.
So, if someone could point out a clue in this nasty issue, I'd be
grateful to him / her

Thank you very much
