VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP

[Kloof]

I have downloaded a new updated driver, "k8m800_wxp_logo_220001j", and tried to install this Update through Install Wizard. Now I am receiving an error message which reads "Unable to find DrvInf settings in s3iscfg.dat" as soon as the Install Wizard starts.

Could anyone assist in getting this download to work please.

I am trying to run Pinnacle 12 Ultimate and this says that my drivers are not recognised.

We need to know the make and model of your motherboard to point you in the right direction for drivers.

I don't think onboard video will run this program as Pinnacle 12 Ultimate requires;

Studio 12 is a 32-bit application; however, it will run fine under Vista 64NOTE: There is a mistake in the System Requirements in the Studio 12 readme (12.0 release) and this FAQ supersedes that information.

I have downloaded and installed the VIA HyperionPro V518B from the BIOS site as suggested. When I open Pinnacle 12 Ultimate I get the following message:
"Studio has detected a display adapter that has not been qualified by Pinnacle Systems.
You can test the performance of your system with Studio using the "Check 3D Server" tool.

Display Adapter: VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP

Manufacturer: VIA/S3G"

I am still lost on this issue.

The trouble is that onboard video is too weak to run Pinnacle 12 Ultimate so you need to buy a video card at least with the following in features, later the card the better but it depends on your budget, let us know what you can spend and we will look at what you can buy and what I would recommend but it still upto you.

2 GB required for AVCHD DirectX® 9 or higher Hardware compatible graphics card with 64 MB (128 MB recommended, 128MB required for Vitascene) 128 MB required on Vista (256 MB ATI® Radeon®9600+ or NVIDIA® GeForce™ 6 or higher recommended) 256 MB required for HD and AVCHD editing (ATI® Radeon®9600+ or NVIDIA® GeForce™ 6 or higher recommended.

Thanks very much. I will try and get a Video Card as suggested.
I appreciate your assistance.
