A7M 266 Updating
1. I no longer have a floppy drive. I have been unable to find Asus's Live
update. Is it still around? if so where can I find it. 2. The VIA update from the ASUS site has at the most W2K - but XP Pro will not use that nor the NT driver. Where is the XP version of the 3 in 1 drivers? Thank you very much |

You can also find Asus Live Update, by going here, and entering "Tools" as the motherboard model number. That will bring up the tools folder. http://support.asus.com.tw/download/...Language=en-us Paul |

Thank you both for the helpful info.
Updating VIA with files form VIA or Asus did not work - neither 449 nor 443 worked. I may do a new post about that, The Live update work like a charm! Maybe just the BIOS update will calm down the IDE Channels! I can hope! Thank again "Chull" Needed.com wrote in message ... 1. I no longer have a floppy drive.

Thank you very much The VIA 4in1 driver has an AGP GART miniport driver in it. You have a mixed chipset, with an AMD Northbridge and a Via Southbridge. If the Via 4in1 offers you the option, don't install the AGP driver, and see if it works. Otherwise, maybe you'll need to hack some setup.ini file in the Via 4in1 installer directory to get it to work. The 3in1 installer is just the 4in1 installer but without AGP support. And what you are experiencing now, is why I recommend against mixed chipset boards. Like the ATI Xpress200 mixed with a ULI Southbridge... A mixed chipset means poor support from both companies.
