VGA Drivers for P4m800-m7

Hi Folks,

I have currently upgraded my board to a p4m800-m7, but the CD that I got along with the board does not install the drivers for the board. Currently I am dependent on the Win XP Generic Display drivers. I have tried downloading various drivers from viaarena.com and biostar drivers, but the Device manager shows that my VGA is using generic drivers.

Due to this most of the games do not work. Esp Empire Earth.
Please feel free to ask any other details you need to know about my pc's config.

Requesting you to help me find the correct drivers for my board.

Thanks,
Amol

I dont have the manual too, it would be helpful if you could guide me to any manual online

When I install these drivers I get an error

"Setup was unable to complete the installation. Check the progress log in your windows directory for more details. (C:\windows\s3iscfg.log)"

Tried installing the http://driver1.biostar.com.tw/suppo...ion4in1456v.exe it got installed but the VGA in the Device manager is still a "?".

Currently I'm running on the generic drivers by XPSP2. And there's nothing other than that to uninstall. Should I uninstall those? and try ?

If there is an .inf file in the folder you created for the updated drivers, go into device manager, select the video card, click update driver, tell windose to mind it's own business and direct the search to the folder you made and that should do it.

did you try installing the second driver, which is for your graphics chip, that OMG gave you the link to? You said you only installed the chipset deriver from the first link

The second link is the same file which gives the error posted in the log here.

And you tried reinstalling it after installing the drivers from the first link?

I am facing exactly same issue...Can amol help me if he has got any remedy?

Welcome to Windrivers nayan

Do you have exactly the same motherboard? Did you install the Via Hyperion 4 in 1 drivers before trying to install the video drivers? What windows do you have?

yes. exactly same mother board.

i have windows xp professional edition

I have followed the two links given in threads in this discussion.
prior to that windows generic drivers were working but when i tried playing games first time yesterday, i found that ? beside video controller. it finds video controller and then does not find driver for the same.

the error message are the same as mentioned in threads.

i had bought this motherboard around same time frame as mentioned by amol...may 2006.

I haven't tried what you mentioned.

nayan

what is this via hyperian 4 in 1?

ok...i got it. yes I have tried in following order


1. http://driver1.biostar.com.tw/suppor...on4in1456v.exe

then

2. http://driver1.biostar.com.tw/suppor...00/Win2kxp.exe

but it gives message as below ( same in Amol's case)

Try what I mentioned first, then report back.
http://driver1.biostar.com.tw/suppor...on4in1456v.exe this is the chipset driver

ok, we cross posted... sorry about that

this is the correct reference driver give that a go.

I think this may be a mix up between the unichrome and the unichrome pro.

I tried the driver sugested.

after that the system went in to such a state where it was unable to show anything on screen.

I was able to see the windows xp initial screen and then hard disk check and then display was hanging. though computer used to boot up but display was in hang state,

finally i formatted the c drive and loaded windows xp again. and now i am again on generic xp drivers.

is this correct behaviour, ? did i miss out any thing?

regds
nayan

No it's not correct behaviour... it would seem that the onboard video is quietly dying...you might want to consider gettng an agp or pci video card and installing that instead.

If you haven't done any updates then install the chipset drivers anyway.

today I tried the driver suggested by you.

this time computer did not reported problem like last night. but there is still yellow question mark opposite video controller ( VGA compatible).

if I remove the win xp driver and then restart the PC..it again takes the same driver.

the problem is still there after loading files of 4 in 1

nayan

dowload vga driver P4m800-m7
