Via 4in1 AGP driver won't install...WTF?
This is a discussion about Via 4in1 AGP driver won't install...WTF? in the Windows Hardware category; Damn. . . I downloaded the new 4. 33 4in1. But When I install them my AGP driver doesn't get an upgrade. . . I tried to install the stand alone AGP driver but the program just exits when I try! All games run fine xcept the 3dmark benchies.

All games run fine xcept the 3dmark benchies...it's stuck @ AGP 2x
Anyone know how to get them installed?
Specs:
- Abit KT7A-TAID
- T-Bird 1000@1333MHz (10x133)
- Hercules 3D Prophet II UltrA
- 512MB Ram
- SB Live!
- 3Com 905C NIC
btw I'm running Win XP 2600 Pro with detonator 14.60

Sounds like a similar problem to the one that I am having. So far the only way I've been able to make any 3d app runable is to disable AGP 4x in the BIOS ...which really sucks.
OP
Ah I forgot to mention something...I have ACPI set to disabled in BIOS...maybe that's the cause of the problem?
I fix my problem like that when i flash KT7a raid back to 3c and everthing worked.
OMG I had a fix for that via install problem but I forgot it. Let me get back to you. I have a txt file on how to correct at home. Hope you don't mind waiting
WINXP has its own via drivers.
no reason to install others

I've tried to manually install the AGP drivers...but upon rebooting I couldn't run any 3D apps becuz windows couldn't find a 3D device
I've stepped back to bios 3C but that doesn't work either

M: (right c lick my computer, select "manage")
M: then the "Device manager" in the list

M: then reboot
M: that should clear it up

if you want the AGP driver to install the installer has to be run in 2k compatability mode.

THATS BECAUSE THE 4.05c AGP DRIVER IS NOT DESIGNED FOR XP!!!!! It is designed for 2000, so you have ot use the 2k compatability mode. Also don't contratict me when i know something works.
An earlier post suggested/mentioned changing ACPI.
Leave it alone! Messing with ACPI in Win2k is bad, and I would expect the same from XP. Don't say you weren't warned...
