Hi all
I have recently ditched Vista (an update stuffed about 3/4 of my games, I have had enough) so reinstalled XP on my rig. When I installed powerdesk SE I got this error:

Matrox PowerDesk-SE - Error
LowLevelDllFailure: Error occured in LowLevelDll: 1

Has anyone had this before? I re-installed PD-SE and it worked OK once. But on restart next day same error again. Any help would be appreciatted.
Cheers

LOL
well it can be solved, sorta, by reinstalling. Seems to work OK until restart, so leave PC on or reinstall for every start :shock:

Well after I really useful email from Matrox (NOT: have you installed the latest driver? it said. One of the things they ask to include in the support email is driver installed, which I listed as the latest :roll: ) I tried to figure out how to get around it myself.
I have found if you boot or swap to using a normal screen. i.e. unplug the DVI cable and have it in a single screen (I have a spare 24") then start PD-SE, say no to any auto adjusting it wants to do then plug it back into the TH2Go box..presto it doesn't crash.
A bit of a palarva but only takes me about 20 secs and I can't play games on the TH2Go without the PD-SE (no bezel management!) so I will stick with that system until I get a useful reply from Matrox.
