Herbert,
Try and reinstall your video drivers. It may very well be you have
corrupted drivers or you video card is going out on you.

Two possibilities. First make sure Windows has a monitor assigned. An
"Unknown Monitor" entry MAY cause this sort of problem. The second, and more
likely, is that you have corrupted video card drivers. Remove all video
drivers from the system (both the Matrox uninstall utility AND the entry in
the Device Manager) and restart the system. The system should then
autodetect the card and install appropriate drivers. Then go to Matrox's
site and download the latest drivers for your card (most likely the unified
version 4.19 is the latest for you, I'm not sure). That should do it. TTYL
