Have you tried this one: http://download.sis.com/download_ste...8353&x=22&y=11 ?
Also, check your bios settings. Your AGP is reporting as disabled.
yeah i've already tried that one, had the same problem.
How do i check my bios settings? sorry, don't mean to sound dumb, some of this stuff is new to me!
When you turn on your computer, there should be a message something like "press F10 to enter setup". If F10 doesn't work, other typical keys are F1, F2, DEL. Look for a setting regarding onboard video.
hi again hudson,
I tried this and couldn't find anything concerning display adapter other than changing between pci and Agp. Nothing saying that any display options were disabled.
Would you say that i am downloading the correct adapter driver? I am running with the 530 at the moment and can only get 16 colours.
Thanks for your continuing help.
Joel
Hi hudson,
Please scarp that last post. I tried taking off the 530 adapter and letting windows identify it at startup (for the 400 time!!!!) and its worked!!!!!!! Don't know why but its great. Full 16 bit colour!!!
You've been a big help and i'll definitely recommend this forum and use it myself when the need arises.
Cheers
Joel
