    Welcome to windrivers! That chip should be natively supported in xp and I would try that first. Whatever s3 drivers there are (you would need to know which particular trio chip you have) are locatedhere and here. As S3 has stopped supporting these chips and producing drivers, anything on the web site is probably at least 3 years old.

    hmmm, i had already seen that site, but i could not find a driver for my card, i think the brand is diamond multimedia stealth se pci (it`s what is printed on the card), and the year is 1994. The chip type is: S3 Trio32 IACB2,
    86C732-P
    9524 18026, that`s what`s on the chip.
    windows is not able to automatically install the new software by itself.

    thanx already,

    Bart

    www.drivergraveyard.com has copies of s3-trio 3d drivers for 2k/xp Sign up is free, and i know the admin, so the drivers should work.

    "Trio3D-2X.ZIP - 785495 bytes"

    I'm assuming that is what you need?

    If the one i linked ya to does not work, and the ones on the s3 site do not work, then you won't be able to get the correct drivers. Meaning, they are none-existing.

    Code 10 - means it has no resources, is device manager showing two display adapters? If so, that's why it cannot install. Uninstall the other one in SAFE MODE.

    XP doesn't do well with old hardware at all.
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    Unless NooNoo's suggestion works, Matridom may be right. Diamond had a habit of excessively modding their designs so generic chipset drivers often wouldn't work properly with them. The only references I could find to the Stealth PCI (732 chip, but 764/765 drivers will also probably work) were supposedly NT/Win2000 drivers (which could conceivably work with XP), except they were dated 1997, which means they will be NT drivers. I think that means they will probably work with 2000's legacy NT tolerance, but I doubt XP would like them.

    Really I suspect NooNoo is right, it's just too old.
