ASUS question
I'm a newbie so this question may seem silly, but I have an ASUS A9200
card and I just installed the ASUS WHQL driver again because I had to reinstall my OS. There are also AGP Gart and WDM Capture drivers on the CD-ROM that came with the ASUS card. My question is should I install them? I've had trouble with crashes so I don't want to install drivers unless they're necessary Thanks in advance, Chris |

Thanks.
Does the AGP Gart driver have to be installed before the video driver? I'm asking because I already installed the video card driver (that is the ASUS WHQL driver).

Yes! However there is a few AGP Gart drivers in-built in the ATI drivers anyway, but they dont always work with all pc's, it really depends on your mainboard's chipset, eg: AMD, Nvidia, SiS, VIA, get the agp drivers from the chipset manufacturer website. Uninstall current driver and change to Standard display (PCI VGA), install your chipset drivers, direct x, then install video drivers, you would probaly be better using the ATI drivers than Asus's as they are more up-to-date. Intel dont seem to need any AGP Gart drivers for some unknown reason. What is your system and OS specs? Andrew Mcintosh ASI Industries. -- Chris Martin wrote in article . .. Thanks.

P.S. I'll also have to check if I already have directx installed. If I
do, should I uninstall and reinstall? And should I get the latest version of DirectX or use the one that came on the disk with the part?

Hi Chris, thanks for your specs, as for Direct X it cannot be uninstalled,
the current version is DX9.0c, you can check your current version by clicking START, RUN, and type DXDIAG, click OK or press the Return key. If you dont have that version download it from microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/directx Abit VI7 http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/...es=1&model=133 I notice Abit are still offering ancient chipset drivers, download the latest, i use them too in all of my systems including my Tyan S1590S AT (not ATX) Via 586 socket super 7 with an Amd k6-2-550mhz. VIA Hyperion 4 in 1 chipset drivers V4.53: http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=2 I notice you said `I had to reinstall my OS' is your hard drive a single 80gb partition? As when you format the drive to re-install you loose everything, if you use two or more partitions you would only loose what was on drive C. My system is setup in a triple boot via PowerQuest BootMagic and each drive C: is invisable to the others. Samsung SP0411N ATA100 40gb Msdos 6.22 C: 1gb Fat16 Win98se C: 2gb fat 32 Drivers D: 2gb fat32 Games E: 8gb fat32 Net F: 2gb fat32 Misc G: 8gb fat32 Cdrw H: 8gb fat32 Winxp C: 6.2gb fat32 The primary reason i use fat32 over ntfs is i can turn off Bootmagic, reboot, unhide Winxp's partition, reboot to win98se and defrag and optimise `Pagefile.sys' with Norton utils speed disk and wipe the file slacks and free space with Wipeinfo, remove files, folders, trojans, viruses and not 1 single message pops up saying `You cant remove this as windows needs it!' like you get in winXP! When i am installing software on win98se / XP, rather than just clicking `Next, Next, Finish', i would do `Next, Browse (pick another drive and or folder), Next, Finish'.
