Solve : Video driver perhaps for PCI card not integrated and not working now? |
|
Answer» Hello, Is there any way to find out what video card the built in is??Based on http://eu.shuttle.com/archive/en/ss51g.htm#specificatio , the answer seems to be Integrated: SiS315 graphics-function. I see two versions of your motherboard listed on http://eu.shuttle.com/archive/en/ss51g_faq.htm , SS51G v1.0 and SS51G v2.0. Which do you have? Exactly what video-related files did you download from that site?Ah! Never saw that. It's v2 Under the "Download files for SS51G v2.0" i download the "VGA Driver for SS51G v2.0 (33.3 MB)"I believe you also need to download and install the AGP driver. i'll try it, but i just looked that up and isn't the AGP for a plug in video card not the built in?It can still be on the AGP bus even though it is onboard. I had a Compaq 266 mhz PII once with the same setup. (That were the days) Ok, so i installed both but same problems as ALWAYS... gets rid of a bunch of screen resolutions including the one i use. It actually doesn't seem too much slower right now if at all, but that could change. Also, i had just expected half life to work once this was installed, but it didn't, and i'm sure it's still because the video card isn't doing it's job. Now that it's installed i've got a little more information to post. In DEVICE manager under display adapters it says it's SiS 651. When i go to it's properties it says it's working properly (of course) even though it isn't. The driver date is 12/2/2002, and when i go to update driver it says it has the latest. Seeing as it isn't slowing down my computer i'll leave it installed incase you want me to do anything with it. Any ideas?I only recently thought to try playing a dvd in my computer. It did play, but it was slow, too slow to watch. If I tried to pause, it was basically impossible to get it playing again, and i'm not sure it had sound. It didn't get far enough into the dvd for me to find out. Unfortunatly i'm not sure if it was any better or worse beforehand. Any ideas?Does your Device Manager show any yellow triangles with exclamation marks? Run dxdiag (Start, Run, and enter dxdiag), and run the tests for Display. Were they successful? How much video memory does dxdiag show you have? Is acceleration (under DirectX features) enabled there? How many types of acceleration does it show? What type of regular maintenance to you do for spyware removal, disk cleanup, registry cleaning, hard drive defragmentation, etc.?Sorry, like my other topic i was waiting for an e-mail notification and didn't get one Device Manager doesn't show any errors, triangles, or exclmation marks "Hardware accelerated Direct3D 9+ is not available because the display driver does not support it. You may be able to get a newer driver from the hardware manufacturer. DirectDraw test results: All tests were successful. Direct3D 7 test results: All tests were successful." "Approx. Total Memory: 32.0 MB" For the most part i don't run all of these right after each other, it's just sort of random whenever i feel it's necessary. Anyways, i run AVG 7.5 Free Edition, AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5, CCleaner, and the Standard Windows Disk Defragment |
