Looking for drivers for older machine
Hello, I'mlooking for a driver for an old
VIA MVP3 system with AMD K6 3+ cpu, running windows 98. Current catalyst 6.2 installs properly, but it's definitely not running right. This card has never been in this PC before, so no other driver to fall back on except perhaps the one on the origina; cdrom from January 2001 - if I can find it! Any advice on an older driver and possible download location appreciated. Dave |

Dave I guess AMD is hosting the ATI support files (did they buy ATI ? ) The sites a bit unfriendly trying to look for any older drivers. I found Catalyst 4..11 on an ftp server in Russia. Working fine. Dave |

As far as your video card drivers go, they are fairly easy to find, but you never said which card you had. Go to ATI website, click the Drivers and Software link at top. This will take you to the main Drivers and Software page which has 3 frames. Click your OS in the left frame (Win98 is at the bottom of the list), Click your device type in the middle frame (legacy, I'm guessing), and specific device on the right, then click the GO button. Make sure you uninstall old drivers before you put in the new ones and be wary of files hosted at unknown sites. |

I lost touch with ATI when I upgraded a 2nd box a year ago and my card, the original Radeon VIVO was retired. A 2nd, even older PC, was having problems with it's 3dfx Voodoo3 2000 card, so a little light bulb went off in my head and I dusted down the the old Radeon to put it i there. The 3dfx never supported directx 9 since the drivers were so old. As I mentioned in my first post, the recent drivers did not work. Probably because the PC is so old. This is why I was hunting for an older set. I found Catalyst 4.10 on 3dguru.com which worked find in windows 2000. I ended up with Catalyst 4.11 in windows 98 the other half of the dualboot machine. Thanks, Dave |
