Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hello,
I used to have everything working fine at 5040 X 1050, on Vista ultimate 64, with Nvidia 182.50 and the GXm Beta on my triple head to go digital edition and three Dell E228WFP
Then i decide to try windows 7 and made the terrible mistake of updating the firmware to THDE_v2.3.40.t6.56, and forgot to backup the original firmware.
After three week of triying to get it to work i gave up and went back to vista.
Now i cant even get it to work on vista and i am sure its a problem with the firmware which makes the TH2GO work on 55Hz instead of 57Hz like before the firmware update and i think my Dell monitors arent compatible with 55Hz.
Can anyone give me a place to download the old firmware?
Ive looked everywhere and even called matrox, but they were no help.
Maybe someone can upload it to the downlod section??
Any help is greatly apreciated.
Thanks again

UPDATE: My monitors are actually the Dell 2208wfp, does anyone now if they are compatible with 55Hz????

Hi kenshinn, thanks for your help.
I did the Firmaware revert and when i run the Matrox setup is is still showing 55Hz as the 5040X1050 option.
I am so frustated iam thinking of selling it all and going back to 30" LCD.
If anyone can help ill be here.
Thanks

i am not an Nvidia user,
but i ve seen in another topic how to force and define yourself the settings (frequency, porch, size and such things) using the nvidia drivers.

I am so frustated iam thinking of selling it all and going back to 30" LCD.
If anyone can help ill be here.
Thanks

OK, finally got it working, and want to share it in case it help anybody else.
1- Uninstall Matrox and Nvidia, restart after each
2- Download Driver Sweeper - http://downloads.guru3d.com/Driver-Sweeper-beta-2.0.0_d2186.html , install it and run as administrator (right click and choose), then set it to clean all Nvidia - Display option., Restart.
3-Install the 182.50 drivers, reboot.
4-Install the GXM Beta, reboot.
5- At this step I run the GMX setup but installed it like ther was only one monitor (In my case 1680 X 1050 @ 60Hz), reboot. When i restarted i would only see the left screen.
6-Go to Nvidia control panel, went to change resolution and selected 5040 X 1050 and the only option it would give is 57hz, apply and bingo.

Ive never read anybody doing it this way, i stumbled upon it by trial and erro and a little luck i guess.
Hope this helps other people.
Thanks again to thales100 and kenshinn for your help.
