Hi.
I made the mistake to intall the latest VIA Hyperion 4-in-1 over my SP2 installation. But I didn't know it's actually recommended not to install them, when running Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
I've read many articles pretty much describing what is written in that one: http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t37072.html
And I quote: "VIA AGP Gart Driver: is to be installed if you are using an AGP VGA card, will provide service routines to your VGA driver and interface directly to hardware, providing fast graphical access.
With Windows XP SP2 a new Microsoft technology is avaliable: Universal Accelerated Graphics Port (UAGP), that replaces all agp(gart) drivers writen before. In fact, the agp drivers included in the VIA Hyperion v455vp1 are the same that ones included in the v453. Now all chipset manufacturers recommend only the Microsoft driver for the agp interface. This driver (gagp30kx.sys) is included with the Service Pack 2 package, The VIA's driver isn't necessary any more."
Now, I am looking to install the default SP2 UAGP driver without completely formating / re-installing Windows.
Is it possible ?
I've searched on Microsoft.com and it seems there is no seperate UAGP download for SP2 users.
I would appreciate it if someone could help me find such a download, or just confirm if it's only part of a fresh SP2 installation.
Thanks for your time.
