I have now solved this problem, only took a year.

You need to comment out the line where it adds the mgabgexe service.

This is the change you need to make to g550w.inf:

Original:

[IN00.ENG.Services]
AddService = G400DH,0x00000002,Service.G400
AddService = MGABGEXE,,Service.MGABG

New:

[IN00.ENG.Services]
AddService = G400DH,0x00000002,Service.G400
;AddService = MGABGEXE,,Service.MGABG

If you now import this driver using the component designer it should
work. The driver does not appear to need mgabgexe to work.
I think matrox have made a mistake somewhere!
