Do the Via 4in1 4.32V for Win2k work for WinXP?

I thought I read around here that they do, but they don't seem to for me

hmm...worked perfectly fine for me. But I have an EpoX 8K7A...so I only installed the IDE busmaster drivers....


someone else with a prob.

 

[Noriaki]

I also have an AMD761/Via686B board, how do you install only the IDE drivers?

That's the only part I want...I'm having some issues with my DVD Rom...and I'm wondering if newer/different IDE drivers will fix it.

 

[pg22]

From what I remember, doesn't the 4 in 1 install have multiple 'things' to install (like AGP, IDE, etc)? So all I did was install the IDE busmaster drivers...and nothing else. BUt that didn't work for ya?

 

[LXi]

Yes it does, XP is kinda similar to 2k so it'll run fine.

The 4.32V doesn't seem to give me that checklist....
I know what you are talking about though, 4.31V gave it to me....

Hmmm well I just ignored the Via setup and just went to Device Manager and clicked update driver and picked the one in the IDEWin2k folder in the 4in1 zip file.

Device manager claims the driver is from Via now rather than Microsoft....
So I guess it worked...sorta?

are you on Win2k SP2? i think there were some ide improvements.

did your fix help your DVD issue?

 

[Noriaki]

I'm on Win XP RC1

And I don't know, my Intervideo account is screwed so I can't download WinDVD :|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|

Ummm, why do you even need the 4-in-1 drivers for Windows XP?? Everything is detected properly and even ATA100 is enabled.

and yes the default drivers to seem to work ok for everything else. They autodetected my hard drive in UDMA mode5....
Just wanted to try it....I don't know what's wrong with my DVD ROM.

I'm having so many problems lately....

I'm blaming them all on Via!

I'm going to be first in line for an A7N266....

The read me file for 4.32 has this :

Care to elaborate?

Intervideo has the demo version of WinDVD that limits you to 5 minutes. You could try that.

Also, some DVD movies have that PC Friendly DVD Player that comes free with them. I know the Matrix has it. I'm sure others do too. You should check and see while you work things out with Intervideo.

5 minutes wouldn't work..the DVD plays fine for about an hour....
then dies on me :|

Starts skipping or getting choppy, sometimes just freezes.
