Via 4in1 drivers in XP RC1


Recommended Posts

Hi there

Has anybody got the via 4in1's to work in XP?

I have tried installing the version that is supposed to be compatible with XP but it doesn't work for me, after I try and install them, it comes up with a "new hardware found" dialogue box and then can't find the drivers. I reinstalled XP after that as I was annoyed by the box popping up every time I started the operating system.

Are these drivers important? I have noticed a significant framerate drop in counterstrike for example. But that could be just the graphics drivers, but I doubt it as I have a GeForce 2 Pro and the latest 12.41 drivers.

My system :

ABIT KT7A

Athlon Thunderbird 1.2 GHz

GeForce 2 Pro

512 Meg Ram

IBM Deskstar 75GXP

Sounblaster Live 5.1

etc. etc.

i used version 4.31 when i installed like you i had an error saying it couldnt find a ide ultradma driver! i just uninstalled it from device manager and its fine

with the geforce i dont use those 12.41 certs! i use the 12.90 and thats much better for me :D the 12.40 and 41 didnt display the start menu well! i had shadows showing in the middle of the menu! 12.90 solve that. But i didnt have slow frame rate in cs in either of them tho.
