I have Windows XP installed with Geforce 3 from VsionTek and Nvidia 21.81 drivers. now i cant set my agp to 4x only 2x. I have Agp4x anable in the bios. I used Power Strip but the agp4x is grayed out. I have Asusp3v4x mb installed. now Via 4in1 drivers they wont install under XP becouse XP doesnt need them. The reg Hack for agp4x that I used before to get agp4x working in w2k doesnt work under XP. any ideas would be helpfull.

have you tried installing the 4.05c agp driver?
OP
The reason is you cant install agp 4.05c in Windows XP it wont let you.. and if u force the install god knows what will happen to my Windows XP.. because XP all ready has agp 4.05 drivers
no XP doesnt have the 4.05c drivers. Also to install it you have to run it in 2k comptability mode. Also i found this out too. VIA chipsets DO NOT enable AGP 4x by default I dont know why sounds pretty f-in stupid to me. Also all new registry values use NV not NV4 like the old ones do.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nv\Device0
"EnableVia4X"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nv\Device0
"EnableVia4X"=dword:00000001
