Matrox Meteor Installation And Hardware Reference page 40

If you cannot assign an interrupt line that allows the board to
function properly, disable the use of interrupts for grab
operations, and consequently run with limited functionality. To
do this, pass the
MsysAlloc() function at Meteor system allocation time. Please
refer to the description of the
Meteor's board specific notes.
Note that PCI devices cannot share interrupt lines with EISA
or ISA devices.
PC ' hangs' or produces unwanted results while an
application is running
Check for an interrupt, memory, or register conflict.
Sometimes, an EISA or ISA device might attempt to use the
same interrupts, register, or memory space as Matrox cards,
and this causes a conflict.
Device attached to the PC fails to start under Windows
NT 4.0
This is a type of a message that you will receive if a device failed
to start. Your PC will prompt you to go to the Event Viewer
Utility to identify the device that was unable to start. This could
happen due to the following two reasons:
The drivers are not installed correctly. This problem could
occur if there is too much or insufficient allocation of DMA
memory. This problem can be addressed by uninstalling and
reinstalling the drivers that failed to start, and by specifying
the correct DMA setting.
There is a conflict in the BIOS Setup program. This problem
generally occurs when there is a PCI memory-mapping error
or when there is a PCI-IRQ routing error. This problem could
be resolved by first trying to swap cards from one PCI slot to
another. If the problem still persists, upgrade your BIOS.
