This shouldn't be possible. That is, the settings you make with the
monitor (brightness, contrast, etc) should be obviously apparent and
independent of the Matrox driver.

The fact it worked with another computer may imply a problem with the
errant computer's USB port ... or possibly a conflict with some software. I
had to fix mine by installing a PCI USB bus independent of the one which
came with my mobo. It worked perfectly after that. You might try disabling
any other USB device or give Colorvision support better symptoms ... they
were very helpful with me.
