Slaphappy April 17, 2003 Author Share Slaphappy Member April 17, 2003 Dweez eveytime i start up windows i get this VIA bus master IDE driver thing coming up saying it found new hardware and needs to install drivers. I have looked and looked but can find no drivers that will make what ever this thing is happy. What I was worried about was that my AGP drivers on MB needed to be reinstalled/updated.....But I can't for the life of me find out where they are or how to update them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaphappy April 17, 2003 Author Share Slaphappy Member April 17, 2003 I have AGP drivers on the cd that came with my MB. but there is no way to auto install them...and when I look under system devices in the Device Manager this is what I see buch of stuff yadda... VIA Tech CPU to AGP Controller VIA Tech CPU to PCI bridge VIA Tech PCI to ISA bridge I've tryed updateing drivers and pointing them to the AGP drivers on the cd but it never sayes they are the right ones...

dwEEziL April 17, 2003 Share dwEEziL Member April 17, 2003 If I read correctly from the previous posts, you have a Shuttle AV18E v.4 motherboard. If that is correct, you might try the 4in1 drivers from the following page. If that doesn't work, you might also try the Win2000 ATA100 IDE Driver but the bus master issue should be resolved by the 4in1 if anything. http://www.shuttle.com/new/support/download/dwn.asp If I didn't get your Mobo make/model right, please post it.

Slaphappy April 17, 2003 Author Share Slaphappy Member April 17, 2003 yes that is my MB. I downloaded drivers....Installed them...Still running at 2x still get the bus master hardware found. I tryied the win2000 ata100 thingy....when I restarted it went to a blue screen evey time Till I loaded the las good config. One thing I noticed about the 4 in 1 drivers is that they were for win 2k...is it possible then that they are not XP compatible....If this is true one would think that they would have XP drivers yet they don't.... I'm try very hard not to let this really frustrate me....I'm not sure i'm winning that battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL April 17, 2003 Share dwEEziL Member April 17, 2003 Yeah, I noticed there were no specific WinXP drivers. Typically, W2k drivers will work for WinXP because XP is actually just a minor "upgrade" of W2k so I don't think this is the problem. It might be possible though that a previous wrong drivers was installed and there is still remnants behind that is mucking up the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
