All In Wonder 2006 Edition-- AGP driver help |
|
|
I purchased the All In Wonder 2006 256 meg video card and tuner. I noticed
that if I don't have an Intel Processor I need to obtain and install the
latest AGP Drivers and this is where i get confused.
I have an "Athlon SY-K7V Dragon Plus" VIA KT266A. I have updated the drivers
for my mother board. When I boot up it says "K7VXA-2BA7", but I have no clue
if the AGP drivers are updated.
I looked in my Device Manger and I have "VIA CPU to AGP Controller" but I
do not know if the drivers are the latest.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to check for the latest AGP drivers or
can someone tell me how to get the latest drivers.
The manual said to go to www.viaarena.com but I got lost as to what I was
looking for. I didnt see anything that said AGP drivers.
The manual said using the wrong drivers could result in a blank screen, and
I don't need that.
Thanks for any and all help...Tom |

It says you can identify the AGP driver in the Device Manager. Have you
looked and what did you see? |

All it said was "VIA CPU to AGP Controller" it didnt tell what version the
drivers were. I had updated the motherboard drivers awhile back, and the
version i have now for the mother board is "K7VXA-2BA7, but i am not sure
the AGP drivers are updated....

I have Intel so I was not concerned but I did look and see this as
confusing. I would say to go ahead with the install with a restore point and
see what happens.
Good luck and post back.

Via uses unified drivers like everyone else. Just download the whole |
chipset package and install it. It will update everything MB related
including you AGP drivers.

2005...thanks again....tom

You boot to safe mode and uninstall. I would have done this a long time ago
but I guess I like to live dangerously ;)
