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 |

Brian,
Like I mentioned, I previously had both 98SE & W-XP. I've been to the SIS site and I have done the chip identification tool in the past.... but not w/the install of Win that I currently have. Unfortunately I'm having trouble running the activeX controls at this time. Tried earlier today. I removed the controls from the Downloaded Program flldr, two controls are placed by SIS, both controls remove, but one w/message *unable to unregister*, possibly it never registered, cause SIS kept repeatedly telling me to install the tool, probably because it *never installed completely*. I never rec'd the security messages that you get for activeX downloads. I did do the one step, since I have the MB book. This is my problem, 650GX is for W-XP, mine is identified as Product: SiS 650, Chip M650 Rev 00, this is the **Display advanced settings**, SiS info pkg. In the Device Mgr. also it is listed as SiS 650. I've learned this, 98SE does not like 650GX, and like I mentioned the Sis 650 was installed from the MB CD. Yes, in W-XP it showed up as 650GX and I had neat stuff and plenty of controls, I hardly have nada in 98SE, just Gamma & Video basically. Now, I hope you can understand why I'm confused and don't update the display adapter ?? I'm lost on this... I have brought up the Display Drivers on both the SiS & ASUS sites and I look for 650 not 650GX, and it appears I'm stuck w/what I have. I do see my driver pkg. and it is truly identified differently than the others!! I did download 1 yr. ago the newest 650GX pkg. from SIS, the install went well, restart the puter and the monitor is out of range. Why would the monitor be out of range and go dark, because the driver is wrong, correct ??? If you can help me more would appreciate, I know not to go for the 650GX but I would think I could get a newer driver than Dec. 2002, more thoughts pls.

Hi PCR Pro, thanks for coming to this thread!!
Never have I had ActiveX problems, downloading the controls. I suspected something wrong at the SIS site and I did a contact form to the webmaster to inquire about it. I did Goggle searches about errors removing ActiveX control errors, *unable to unregister from Windows* is what mine said, but it did remove. I checked them out thoroughly, the dependent files for the controls. The main one is the C:\Windows\SiS0000.inf. This is a big file, I reviewed yesterday and just moments ago. At the bottom section, it has device description and a list of vendors, for ASUS it is SIS 650, for other manufs., I saw 650GX. The MB manual clearly reads Chipset: SIS 650GX SIS 962L VGA SIS Real256 Graphics So, I removed the ActiveX controls like I mentioned and did scanreg /restore to the morning boot. I don't think those puppies installed completely and that is why one didn't unregister. "PCR" wrote in message ... I don't see anything very relevant in those two articles I posted. http://search.support.microsoft.com/...dv=1&spid=1139 MSKB Search "ActiveX" does come up with about 20 articles. Perhaps go see. Could be something wrong with the SiS site, too. Are you set for "Medium" at "Internet Options, Security tab, Internet Zone"? I have IE locked up pretty tight, it's my only browser and I utilize my *safe zone*, settings are low only in safe zone, if I want a activeX control, I simply put the site in my *safe zone*. Oh, I did search about ActiveX too at Microsoft, all the error messages, except for yesterday, have been totally successful w/ActiveX, I do think it's the SiS site. I was going to try again, but decided not to. The chipset identification tool just gives me the same info as I can read myself in the System Info tool, plus all the info is in the display/settings tab/advanced, I have a SIS info tab that also gives the info. To suddenly have out of range after installing display software and drivers and restarting, surely must mean that the drivers are wrong, correct ? I reverted back and I was fine again. For sure, I don't need that!!

... I've read through them a couple of times & must conclude the matter is best left in Brian A.'s hands or in the hands of someone else who's been through it. Star only wants you PCR.

... Brian, Like I mentioned, I previously had both 98SE & W-XP. I've been to the SIS site and I have done the chip identification tool in the past.... but not w/the install of Win that I currently have. Unfortunately I'm having trouble running the activeX controls at this time. Tried earlier today. I removed the controls from the Downloaded Program flldr, two controls are placed by SIS, both controls remove, but one w/message *unable to unregister*, possibly it never registered, cause SIS kept repeatedly telling me to install the tool, probably because it *never installed completely*. I never rec'd the security messages that you get for activeX downloads. I did do the one step, since I have the MB book. This is my problem, 650GX is for W-XP, mine is identified as Product: SiS 650, Chip M650 Rev 00, this is the **Display advanced settings**, SiS info pkg. In the Device Mgr. also it is listed as SiS 650. I've learned this, 98SE does not like 650GX, and like I mentioned the Sis 650 was installed from the MB CD. Yes, in W-XP it showed up as 650GX and I had neat stuff and plenty of controls, I hardly have nada in 98SE, just Gamma & Video basically. Now, I hope you can understand why I'm confused and don't update the display adapter ?? You shouldn't be confused. XP and 98 are different birds of a feather and will have different configs/options/settings. An updated driver may or may not provide more options, yet it may have a fix for an issue for the prior chip/adapter driver version. If you're having problems with newer drivers another thing to look into is the BIOS ver., some newer driver updates may also require an updated BIOS. I'm lost on this... I have brought up the Display Drivers on both the SiS & ASUS sites and I look for 650 not 650GX, and it appears I'm stuck w/what I have. I do see my driver pkg. and it is truly identified differently than the others!! I did download 1 yr. ago the newest 650GX pkg. from SIS, the install went well, restart the puter and the monitor is out of range. Why would the monitor be out of range and go dark, because the driver is wrong, correct ??? If you can help me more would appreciate, I know not to go for the 650GX but I would think I could get a newer driver than Dec. 2002, more thoughts pls. The drivers at Asus and SIS are dated 2004. The drivers at the link I provided are the drivers for your integrated graphics. Driver packages may, will and do many times include drivers for multiple chips and OS's. That is why it is always very important to read the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer, also included in most downloads, definitely included in the Asus and SIS d/l's. -- Brian A.
