    Resolved [RESOLVED] Search for old driver- S3-Trio64V Display

    I want to upgrade my old PC from Win95 to Win98. Problem is now stuck with the old display card.

    I only get a driver good for Win95 for my display card S3-Trio64V+. According to the release notes comes with the driver software, it mentioned Viewtop Control Panel 2.71 for PB-S3A, S3B.

    The associated user's manual is titled like this :
    VIEWTOP BP-S3x, Graphics/Video Accelerator Card - product of Britek Electronic Co. Ltd. 1995-1996 v2.0 Taiwan.

    I wonder if any of you can advise me where from the internet to download an updated driver good for Win98.

    Many thank!

    to the best of my knowledge, win 98 natively supports trio 64, 64v and 64v+ so it shouldnt require drivers

    You can download all the S3 chipset drivers from http://www.s3graphics.com

    The chipset drivers are located @ https://ranger.s3graphics.com/765drv/ but download the chipset id util first to double check - http://www.s3graphics.com/S3id.exe

    win98 does have the drivers in it that suport the s3 trio line, the 64, 64+ 64+dx ect, sometimes i have had descent luck with aopens video card drivers on these chipsets , its an older card i wouldnt sweat useing 98s stock drivers, itl work, if youre doin an upgrade from 95 to 98, try unloading, uninstalling the old drivers first, let 98 start off clean, i dont really see a problem here though, ive seen way too many problems way back with 98 s upgrade, and other sound card drivers and printer sofware though... just thought id give my 2-k
