Default My Keyboard and Mouse are dying on and off

Hmm - got almost identical error message when I ran the installer on my
system (with an ATI card installedg)

OK - back to basics - install Belarc or Everest Home/AIDA32 - see what they
report as the display card.

Hi Noel
:
Jan - the file is
C:\windows\s3setup.log


Here is what was in the log. What could have prevented it from

installing?
I had the AV off, and nothing else was running. There were no

instructions
with the file, not even a Readme, nothing. Should I try to install from

Safe
Mode?

S3Setup v1.00.16-JV (1.01.06) on Win ME
bAllowReboot: TRUE
bSilentReboot: TRUE
bPromptReboot: TRUE
bPromptSilentReboot: FALSE
VendorID to find:5333

INF File Located at: C:\PROGRA~1\HEWLET~1\S3WISHLD\ps5333ut.inf
No S3 display adapter can be detected.
- Setup was unable to complete the installation. Check the progress log

in
your Windows directory for more details.

'k......I'm back...but, without the install. It won't install. I
keep getting an error that says that the install could not take
place, and to see the Windows Progress log for details. 'Cept....I
have no log called Progress log that I can find. I ran a Search for
it and I can't find any log file by that name. ?? So...now what,

It's interesting that CQ send you direct to a download, rather

The North/South are like magnets - you can't have one without the

Maybe it's one of the few times a large company tech's gone "above
