Hola, everyone.

Thank you for providing this community. I've used the THTG for several years without a problem in WinXP with 3 Samsung SyncMaster 225BW monitors at a res of 5040x1050. I use my computer for recording music and for gaming. The main game I play is World of Warcraft.

Recently, I decided to upgrade my machine to Win7 Pro 64 bit. Using the instructions in this thread, I was able to continue using the 5040x1050 resolution.

The problem I have is with World of Warcraft. In the graphics-setup page of the game, the resolutions that are listed are those that are listed in the Matrox PowerDesk tool. The PowerDesk tool doesn't list my 5040x1050 mode; however, the nVidia control panel does.

PowerDesk version: gxm_2_07_00_031_whql
THTG firmware version: THD_u015_v2.3.40.t6.56.exe
nvidia version: nvidia_gts250_258.96_desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_english_whql

I had a similar problem when upgrading to Win7. Using a previous version of PowerDesk (2.05 or 2.06) resolved the problem for me. PowerDesk 2.07 simply refused to acknowledge many resolutions (even though they showed up in the nVidia control panel)

Good luck!

Heh. I got TH2G mainly to WoW.

I finally resolved the problem by using an older version of the PowerDesk software. Here are the additional steps I took.

- Use the latest nvidia driver for Win 7 64 bit

nvidia_gts250_258.96_desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_english_whql

- Use the latest Matrox Firmware: Matrox_Firmware_THD_u015_v2.3.40.t6.56

- Use an older version of PowerDesk. I choose the following which worked with Win 7 64 bit:
ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/archive/GXMVEOS/2009/v64_gxm-veos_2_06_00_026_whql.exe

- Follow the instructions at the beginning of this thread and use the aforementioned versions of software.
