I sent my Martox illuminator back to the factory for repair, Upon receiving it back 3ds would not reconize it . The message was unreconizable verson of PRODRIVE.SYS. I'm in the middle of production and would appreciate any advice you can give me! The Matrox people could not offer any advice. The ONLY chang to my system was installing the 3ds verson 4C1, the update. The board is abe to load targa files out side 3ds ok. Thanks , -Richrad Sher+

Rich, >> I sent my Martox illuminator back to the factory for repair, Upon receiving it back 3ds would not reconize it<< You must make sure that you run the PROCFG.BAT program (or what ever its called lately) on any new 3DS executable. It add CALLBUFFS 1 to your 3DS pharlap settings. You should be able to find the BAT file in your 3DS directory. Also, the latest version of the driver set is 1.41. Look at your boot-up sequence and verify that the PRODRV.SYS is loading in your config.sys and that you are using the latest version of the software. As an additional note, if you are using the CCIR board (720×486), then the default resolution of the RDPADI driver doesn't set the pixel aspect ratio correctly (it uses a value of 1). Define one of your "resolution buttons" in the 3DS.SET file to 720,486,0.9. Hope that helps Ang, President Dynamic Technologies, Inc. An Autodesk Systems Center for Multimedia in MD

<<The message was unreconizable version of PRODRIVE.SYS. >> In addition to Angelo's comments, if they upgraded your chip set or BIOS version you may need an update to the Illuminator Drivers. Check out their BBS at 514-685-6008.
