SYMPTOMS
========

When you remotely control a Windows 95 workstation that has the Matrox MGA
Millennium PowerDesk drivers (version 4.03.00.3110) installed, and you run
either File Manager (Winfile) or Windows Explorer, the video display does not
update properly.

CAUSE
=====

When you run File Manager (or another application), the screen is not correctly
repainted, although the colors and/or fonts are correctly displayed. Some areas
of File Manager are mixed with some other part of the background screen.

If you use the Matrox MGA Millennium drivers dated 08/24/95 (version 1.00.006),
everything appears normally.


WORKAROUND
==========

Disable "Bitmap Caching" and "Power GDI Options" for the MATROX drivers by going
to Display Properties, click on MGA Setting, click on Advanced and disable
"Bitmap Caching".

-or-

Use the Matrox MGA Millennium drivers, version 1.00.006, dated 08/24/95. The
following list shows the file names and sizes of these drivers:

Mga95x64.vxd      22329    08/24/95
Mga95x64.dll      62688    08/24/95
