Default Help finding software

The drivers for Matrox G450 Multi-monitor english have disappeared from my system, but the program is still in my add/remove programs. Can anyone tell me where i can find the drivers to d/load as i searched online and see many different types. I am not sure what one to use.

did you try looking on the matrox website here
http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/co...ivers/home.php

??
check the manual your graphic card came with and note its name and see if it's available on the website

I went there and tried regestering but i dont know the product i have. When i enter the serial number it doesnt register to the product i selected. Also i have no manual cos that is all in australia and im in germany now. That is why i also do not have the cd either. I found a driver online

ok i tried but it says that it isnt recognising the graphics card.so there goes that idea. i just emailed sales at matrox and hopefully they will pass it on to tech support.

i really dont know whats going on....i found the original installer driver on my computer but it keeps saying the device cannot be found, but it is there as the fan is spinning and the install wizard keeps saying new hardware found.....but i noticed that the graphics card is not getting hot.

drivers has nothing to do with spinning fans or hot graphics card
i forgot to tell you that you could have alternatively download the driverguide toolkit here
or better yet driver Magician, here
they both help in installing unknown devices

those programs did not fix it, but thanks for trying. I justd/loaded the new bios for the card.....should i run this or not. Will I lose my existing intel graphics monitor if there is a conflict...........cos then i will have no screens working and i will be totally stuffed.
