Well, I see the two packages at that site. It seems to be the same site
Brian A. posted, though I get a blank page when I click his. Just as you
say, nothing has been added to "Downloaded Program Files". I guess that
only happens if one clicks "Identify the model number of SiS products,"
which I hesitate to do. It did once say you were SiS650. Didn't it also
say you had the latest drivers? But, you say your drivers are dated
2002?

You took v3.67 (2005-04-15), & it turned out bad. Though it states "OS
supported: Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98 SE, Windows
98, Windows XP 64-Bit Edition", perhaps it is more geared toward XP.

It sounds like the other is worth a try... v2.21... "OS supported:
Windows 98 SE, Windows 98, Windows ME", BUT let it be on Brian A.'s
head, if it blows you up!

|
| 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 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.....
| |
|
http://www.asus.com.tw/support/downl...lName=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.
