| Need help not sure if I should try to update display adapter drivers
for
| 98SE ?
I've read through them a couple of times & must conclude the matter is
best left in Brian A.'s hands or in the hands of someone else who's been
through it. I only have a SoftPaq from Compaq to use when I want to play
with my Video Adapter. It's uninstallable in Add/Remove Programs &
reinstalled with a click. STILL...
It sounds to me you are a SiS 650, at least on the Win98 side, if the
SiS info package & MSInfo32 said so. The site said you have the latest
drivers. So, that is that. Likely, they did not update them further
(beyond 2002) to provide the options/functionality you get on the XP
side. You don't want to grab something wrong & end up with monitor *out
of range* errors again.

I don't know. You already did what I would try. Now, I'm offline &
cannot click...

| I was initially dual booting, I also had Win-XP Prof. The drivers
for
| Win-XP were always right-on, the pkg. for 98-SE shows up as
*Compatible*
| when you install and I don't have many settings for 98-SE in
comparison to
| Win-XP, many functions just arn't available, etc...
|
| I would like to update the drivers for the display adapter, however
I'm
| very
| confused as to what I should download. I don't want to do the
entire pkg.
| since it's a compatible pkg.
|
| I'm nervous about this... because I was not smart and took the one
driver
| that was offered once and it totally crashed the puter, actually the
| monitor, not the puter. After, the monitor was *out-of-range* and
I
| couldn't see the desktop of course. And, it took me 3 days to get
the
| timing
| right to get into safe mode and fix the problem.
|
| Should I get the driver update from ASUS vs. the SIS site.... if I
go to
| ASUS, they are displayed on my MB site which is, link to the ASUS
| P4SGX-MX.....

| I'm
| not sure and possibly, I'm already using the best drivers??
|
| I've went to SIS site and click on downloads, highlight display,
choose
| 98SE
| and SIS 650 and it seems I'm already using the best drivers for
98SE,
| however my drivers are from Dec. 2002, therefore seem old, but then
98SE
| has
| been around since 1999.
|
| I would appreciate guidance, and if I should update, which is the
best
| compatable pick !! I downloaded an entire pkg. approx. 1 year ago
from
| SIS,
| it was drivers and the the software. Unfortunately, I had the same
| problem
| that I experienced at Windows Update.... monitor *out of range*, bad
| problem!! The driver that is at Windows Update, I have looked at
iit's
| stats and it is older than the one I'm using, however I learned the
hard
| way, after the fact.

| Thank you,
