I am not sure WHETHER this is the right place to post this question! Having tried unsuccessfully to install a USB printer, I thought I might try and reload the Via 4in1 drivers. I first loaded an older version by mistake and then a more recent version v1446. I now get on booting up a 'Found new HARDWARE'with 'Via CPU to AGP controller' and 'Via PCI to ISA Bridge'. Windows TRIES to find the drivers but it puts up error message 'cannot find files'.Those items have an exclamation mark next to them in Device Manager. I have tried unsuccessfully to uninstall and then reinstall. I know they have been loaded, because they were ticked in the installation dialogue. After uninstalling them, the graphics went BACK to windows VGA, but after reloading the same wizard stills pops up. Another mystery!! Any ideas? I am running Windows 2000 Prof SP4 and it is an Asus mobo Via chipset A7333.
Try going into device manager and from the properties dialog you should be able to update drivers by pointing windows to the proper location (MB CD or directory for downloaded drivers).Thanks for your SUGGESTION. I have already tried that several times. I have pointed it at the .inf file or the directory where it resides but without success. It goes through the installation and then tells me there was an error and could not find the file!!On next reboot up pops the 'Found new hardware' wizard again.
