is it possible to use softth plugin on a single screen essentially use it with th2go.. ?

So is this the only option for a TH2G user? Bummer for me because I can't use SoftTH. My main game (Grand Prix Legends) is so old it is DirectX7. That's why I had to go with the TH2G in the first place ...

Will this correct for the edge stretching seen on most every game when using 3 monitors? Is there anything else out there that will correct this? Anything for less than hundreds of dollars? That kind of money to fix a mild annoyance is way out of my reach.

ok, I have the same problem like the post starter.

The power light is red and sometimes it is blinking. ...I got 3 black screens after starting my computer.

Sounds like my problem. I had to get a replacement TH2G. Are you still with in warranty?

you mean you put the edges of the monitos bezel behind each other ?

Yes. I put the outer monitors behind the middle one. Causes some not perfect image matching but I prefer this to having a double wide bezel gap and the distortion we talked about.

One other thing I've begun doing lately ...

Terrific! Glad you are up and running. Like I said earlier, it just shouldn't be that hard. If it is then there has to be something wrong with the hardware.

The bezel correction problem is a known problem that has no fix. It has to do with limits of the TH2G bandwidth or some thing like that ...

you need some responses from people who use the TH2G with windows 7 ultimate 64x

search the web (as I'm sure you have)

bummer they won't do the RMA! :(

good luck to you. keep me posted.

It does seem like there could be a problem with the TH2G. I mean really, it shouldn't be this hard to get it to work. You have the latest firmware installed. Thousands of people are using them with no trouble getting it up and running. Not getting a green light is an indicator of something bad. When ...

My firmware version is 2.3.40. My EEPROM video table version is 6.56. I don't know if it is the latest but it probably is. The Matrox website can answer that question. It is new enough that I doubt it would be your problem.

All my DVI cables are missing the same pins as yours. They came with my ...

i had tryed any thing to get teh mth2gd to work evrything failed

What do you mean?... "everything failed"


then when i boot the pc up again and take a look at the windows nvidia display options it shows my original monitor i have on my grafics card and a version thats very wide the ...

Thinks for your help. I was kind of lost as to what to do to try to revive it.

So how have people fared in dealing with Matrox for a warranty replacement? They haven't exactly jumped on my online request for help.

I need to retract this snipe at Matrox. After a few days wait for them to respond they authorized an RMA and an offer for an immediate replacement. All via ...

Newegg, Oct 08. Their replacement warranty is 1 year but Matrox has a 2 year warranty so I should be covered.

I think your right. It's a pretty good indicator something is major wrong with the hardware. Thanks for the effort.

Well, from here

I see the download link "THD FU Dec2009" described as "Firmware Utility for TripleHead2Go Digital Edition". That link opens a page to download "THD_v2.3.40.t6.56.exe" which is 587KB self-extracting zip and is one of ...

Sorry, I misunderstood. So hope remains. I'm off to the Matrox site!

thales,

Thanks for the reply. I was very hopeful but it didn't work out. I used MtxGMXUtilities and chose the "update" option. I selected the THD_v2.3.40.t6.56.pkg. It reports "Invalid package for current product". Also tried THV2_v2.3.40.t56.pkg and THDE_v2.3.40.t6.52.pkg. Same results. It's ...

PROBLEM: With TH2G connected I only get black screens. Cannot even see the boot screen before Windows loads.

TH2G worked fine for over 1 year in triple widescreen. Recently I had to use the TH2G at 3360x1050 with only 2 monitors connected. This worked fine for a week or two. My computer is ...

No it's not custom, I just installed a fresh TH2G into a fresh PC running Windows XP and using the latest Matrox PowerDesk (2.06) and the latest Nvidia drivers as of yesterday and 5040x1050x60Hz(59) was in the list of standard resolutions in the PowerDesk Setup Wizard.

It was not present in ...

Acer V223w and B223w should be on the "bad" list.

I reported a long time ago about my experience with Acer V223w (see "Known working" list, 3rd monitor down). It worked good enough for my needs but had issues. I've been using 3 of them happily since I first posted about them. Well, one of the ...
