Next you will update your AUDIO DRIVER which can be found HERE. Extract the files from the zip to a folder and then run the setup.exe file and the updated audio drivers will be installed.

Hey Fenor I don't know whether this is appropriate but could we chat on MSN? I just downloaded the VIA and sound drivers, I'll go with them now first.

We are doing fine in here, and besides I don't do IM programs, don't like em.

Yep totally understand. I've just installed the VIA chipset update but when I went with the audio thingy it says it's not signed by XP or something so I didn't do it. Just rebooted my computer and came back, how do I test it?

A stupid question - what does VIA do anyway? )

When it says it's not signed by XP, just click CONTINUE ANYWAYS because every good driver, even the most up-to-date video card drivers for nvidia/ati pop up the same thing.

VIA is the manufacturer of your motherboard and hence supplies the updates for your chipset which is part of the motherboard.

When I opened the page, it says "Sorry, this download link is expired".

[Fenor]

Try this link.

Hey buddy, that was downloaded. But the download link for 3dfx Tweaker Utility is also expired. Is this 3dfx Tweaker Utility quite necessary after the update?

[Fenor]

Not really, did you update the video card like how I said to do it?

Fenor

[chinofeliz]

Gonna do it now, it's with the renewed download link you provided me, isn't it? Doing it now buddy

Hi Fenor,
I attached the capture I just made while trying to update the video card driver. I did exactly as what you instructed. Cheers

[Fenor]

Right Click MY COMPUTER, select PROPERTIES, click on the HARDWARE tab and then the DEVICE MANAGER button. Click the '+' symbol next to DISPLAY ADAPTERS and then double click on your video card listed. Click on the DRIVER tab and tell me the date it shows for DRIVER DATE.

Yeah I know it's ridiculous, I checked it before and now it's still the same cos I haven't done anything with my video card update.
