Well - that explains why you can't install S3 drivers, doesn't it!g
AIDA32 - under Display|Windows Video
go to the link for the Video Adapter Manufacturer and get their latest
drivers.
post back with the results of your search - then install the drivers

Seeee....it doesn't like you either. Now I feel better. g

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

I already have both Belarc and Aida32 from another time, the IE
thingie I think....... neither one says anything about a display
card, so......I'm guessing here....nVIDIA Vanta Video Adapter,
nVIDIA Vanta 3D Accelerator. If that is not what it is supposed to
be, then....Idunno? g

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.

What gets me is why it took an email to bring the response -
surely it should be on the website?(or is it just well-hidden?)

'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, Chief?

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 other (I don't think anyone's discovered monopoles yet?)



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