<< CDROM Enable DMA under Windows 2k >>



Hmmm could that be why my Toshiba drive was skipping so much with dvd's? I RMA'ed it...

Isn't http://www.viatech.com the official site for Via Technologies?

Edit: Nevermind, it links to their site anyways .

Hope this allows me to put my burner on DMA. I couldn't force that thing into DMA and thought all was lost.

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

Hrmm. I was able to get my burner/DVD into DMA mode in Win2k with my 4.31s. Am I just a freak?

 

[NFS4]

I got an error message and the setup program bolted when I tried to install it under Windows XP Professional Build 2481.

My Internal zip worked with 4.29s but now with 4.31s it randomly locks with the light on after inserting a disk and also freezes the computer when writing to the zip drive.
How can VIA and zip stay in business?

Burner is still in PIO mode:| Ever since I re-installed Win2k it's been that way!

It ain't official until you see it on www.via.com.tw. Everything else is public beta testing.

Thank you folks, I'll be performing at Mad Dog's Comedy Club next Friday

 

[MasterHoss]

Here's a question coming your way...(kinda stupid?...)

do you uninstall the previous versions of the 4-in-1's or do you just go ahead and run the setup as your system is? I guess ideally, you do a clean install of the OS but that's a little troublesome for something that I never really see help me in performance or stability.

But since I plan on installing the damn thing, thought I'd ask.

 

[Thyme]

You can just install over the old ones.

 

[vailr]

The 4.27 version should be uninstalled first. That version mis-identifies IDE as SCSI; produces BSOD if upgraded instead of uninstalling &amp; then installing the newer version.

 

[ROcHE]

Does WONDERS for my cdrom cpu utilization. From 99% to 20% when copying a whole cd to hd.

<<I got an error message and the setup program bolted when I tried to install it under Windows XP Professional Build 2481. >>

I got a registry error with Win ME. For some reason, now any 12.xx NVidia drivers have problems on reboot. Optimal refresh somehow displays default settings, but displays properly if I switch around after reboot. So I have gone back to 6.50 for the time being. I could get the AGP 4.05c driver to install by itself, though. Ugh.

 

[Mem]

I installed them ok with no problems,but don`t know if it updated anything on my Win98 OS1,games run ok.

 

[Nelmster]

Is there a site (or a kind person) that shows which VIA driver would be best for a specific OS? I'm still running 98SE, and all I see are patches for WinME, Win2K, etc. Is it possible that these newer drivers would worsen the performance of the earlier OS?
