Display Adapter - Update Drivers Yes/No ?
Hello,
Need help not sure if I should try to update display adapter drivers for 98SE ? The MB is a ASUS P4SGX-MX, Celeron 2000Ghz. I have the support CD and I'm currently using the software & driver pkgs on from the support CD. This is the stats for the main drivers for super vga display. Product: SiS 650 Softwa VS. 2.12 Driver VS: 2.12 12-02-2002 Chipset: SIS 650GX SIS 962L VGA SIS Real256 Graphics Driver: sisgl.dll - Super VGA OpenGL ICD File Date: 12/2/2002 4:47 PM Company Name: Silicon Integrated Systems Corporation File Version: 4.13.01.2120 Driver: sisdx32.dll - Super VGA DirectX Driver 32 Bit File Date: 11/21/2002 11:00 AM Company Name: Silicon Integrated Systems Corporation File Version: 4.13.01.2120 Driver: sisdx.dll - Super VGA DirectX Driver 16 Bit File Date: 11/21/2002 11:01 AM Company Name: Silicon Integrated Systems Corporation File Version: 4.13.01.2120 Driver: sisgr.vxd - Virtual Display Minidriver File Date: 11/28/2002 3:14 PM Company Name: Silicon Integrated Systems Corporation File Version: 4.13.01.2120 Driver: sisgr.drv - Super VGA Display Driver File Date: 11/28/2002 3:17 PM Company Name: Silicon Integrated Systems Corporation File Version: 4.13.01.2120 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. Thank you, Star |
