What error message do you get??
Boot to Safe Mode, and remove ALL Display Adapters and Monitors from
DM there, reboot and see what loads.

OkieDokie, Cap'n.......she's all done. Got new drivers installed and all is
happy. That Chicken Dance gets longer all the time. Used my last Puce
candle too. Whew!! Ya know......that Safe Mode gets scarier every time I
go there. I expect any minute to hear HAL's voice come out of my speakers!

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

bingo.

5333 is S3
Compaq is 0e11


Thank you! Phew! g
