VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP Updates???

[MoSnow]

Hi. I'm trying to find an update for my video card. The version I have is from 2004 and I can't play my games. I have been searching (to no avail) all day. Can someone please help?

For a little more info I will include a plain text version of the system diagnostic.

Same as my first reply to the original starter of this Thread:

Need the mainboard maker and model to find the right drivers.

Get Everest Home Edition from Majorgeeks.com and run it. It's a free download. Post back with the information requested. Chris.

[Mr. Chris]

O.K., P4M800 chipset, newest drivers are here: VIA Arena - Display Drivers I presume you are running XP with Service Pack 2?

I also noticed you don't have much System Memory, only 512Mb installed, and 64Mb of that is used by the video card. Doesn't leave much for Windows. I would recommend having at least 1Gb, 2 is prolly best. Chris.

[boyblue]

SmplyMeC

I have also noticed that your AGP Status is Disabled.

Is your install new or is this an old problem?
