Any ideas anyone ?

VGA works fine, SVGA locks the machine after a few seconds.
Eventually, i get System halted - Stack overflow message

Other vga cards work nicely

Do you use BIOS version 1.6 and Win95 driver 3.80?  If not you
should download these drivers from the Matrox WEB site.

Older BIOS versions (1.3 and older) had problems with Grand
Prix 2.  Version 1.3 made clicking noises in the PC speaker
when playing GP2.

I use Matrox Mystique myself and don't experience any problems
when using GP2.  You should also check the system settings in
the control panel to verify if you don't have any conflicts (DMA,
IRQ, or I/O address).

I could tell you my settings if you like to.  Please send an email
to the following address if you are interested:

I strongly recommend running GP2 in DOS, it is much faster than in W95!

Two people had suggested the BIOS upgrade. I tried it, but
it didnt help. I am actually running in DOS, not w95.

Maybe i will try from NT.

There have been several posts from people with Matrox cards who had to download
new drivers or something from Matrox website before they could run GP2.... You
should check it out.

Hope this helps,

(someone else)

From my experience, only 1-2 fps to the eye...

BTW: if you get GP2 to work in NT, let us all know!!! It would most probably be
a "premiere" (at least when you want SOUND as well...)
