Going out on a limb and trusting Matrox' website...

Newest Windows XP G200 Millennium driver:

As for the sound card, in typical Creative Labs fashion, I had to download the entire 9.2MB driver file (8MB of which is useless software that is NOT a driver but accessories!!), extract the Setup files with Winzip, and then go digging for the driver file you are using just to find out what version number the driver is. ARGH. IDIOTS!!

And of course, it turns out you're running the latest version of the drivers...

5.12.1.3509

Is there ANY excuse why they could not have put that version number on the website or in a readme file?!

Thank God I have high-speed Internet. It took 5 minutes to download the 9.2 MB file (8MB of which is unnecessary for the sound card to work). That would have taken 45 minutes to download on a 33.6k modem.
