problems...installed detonator 5.22 on a VIA133A board, now can't get AGP4x

[Verruckt]

I have just put together a computer, using a SOYO SY-6VCA (VIA133a based mobo) and a Leadtek Winfast GeForceDDR.

I installed the VIA 4in1 4.22 drivers, and then the VIA 4.03 AGP (viagart) drivers (in turbo mode, too). All was well and I had AGP4x.

So I installed the 5.22 detonator drivers (for win98, btw). Now I cannot get AGP4x. Even if I run the AGP installation program and uninstall the AGP drivers and then install them again, I *still* only get AGP2x.

Needless to say, this is very annoying. What should I do?

...thanks

Still fast in 2x though.

None of the Detonator 5.xx drivers will allow AGP4X on your via chipset.
There is a registry tweak that will allow it though. You can add this line to the registry key: Hkey_Local_Machine/Software/NVIDIA Corporation/Global/System

EnableVia4X 0x00000001 (that is, set the value to "1&quot

Or, there is a file called viaagp4xon.reg that will make the registry entry for you. I can't remember where I got it, but if you e-mail me, I'll send it to you.
