AIW Radeon Question

[Chubs]

I have W2K and the AIW Radeon. I see many people here are having the same problems I am with getting it to work. I don't really want to have to do a lot of messing around required and then have to worry if the next driver release will break what was done to make it work.

The question is: Are people having similar problems under W98/WinME? Or is this a VIA chipset problem (I have the IWill KK266-R) and I'll have problems with whatever OS I install?

I'll reinstall my system tonight with WinME if people are having good success with it and the AIW.

winme... yuk. go with win2k and the 3116 drivers mm7.1 and dvd 4.1 the newest 3124 don't seem to work for most people. peace out.

I tried those and it doesn't seem to work for me. If I try to capture video it drops around 30-40% of the frames and my mouse freezes. If I try to use the timeshifting my hard drives thrash and the system locks up. (Yes, my drives are fast enough.) I use the latest 4in1 drivers from VIA.

I don't have a DVD player so I'm hoping the software for it isn't what's making it work for everyone.

I like W2K much better than WinME, but since I just spent my computer upgrade money for the year I need to work.

I just noticed there's a VIA AGP fix from MS - it says its for the KT-133 chipset, do you need it for the KT-133A?

I'm running the 3124's, they work great, BUT, I still had to replace the "ati2mtag.sys" file with the 7073 set to be able to capture 720x480 mpeg-2 with no dropped frames, like the last several driver sets. Give it a try Chubs, it works.

Even if you don't have a DVD drive, install the new DVD 4.1 It will fix all your problems. It will solve what your link is talking about.
