The solution is to NOT reinstall your video drivers but rather go to display properties/change display type/change adapter and select the driver you used to have, so if your original was Matrox Millenium Powerdesk PCI and DirectX installed Matrox Millenium PCI then you just select what you had before CM5K and DirectX overwrote it. Afterwards when you load the game DirectX will version check but not replace the video driver and everything (including CM5K) will work fine." Perhaps CM6000 is doing the same thing. -- Komputer Korner
