This sheet can be accessed using the System utility in the Control Panel. If you do not see a Meteor-II device under Matrox Imaging Adapters, you will have to reinstall the driver.

Select Computer in the Computer Management dialog box. Select the View Hidden Devices command. Select Device Manager in the left pane. Select Non-Plug and Play Drivers in the right pane. Double-click on the name of your Matrox driver. Select the Driver tab in the presented dialog box. Click the Start button.

■There is a conflict in the BIOS Setup program. This problem generally occurs when there is a PCI memory mapping error or when there is a PCI-IRQ routing error. To resolve this problem with the PCI form factor, first try to swap boards from one PCI slot to another; for the PC/104-Plus, change the rotary switch settings. If the problem still persists, upgrade your BIOS.
