XP and AMD 4in1 Drivers *Update/Question*

[Prince of Persia]

When upgrading to XP should I install the 4in1 Drivers or does XP already have the proper drivers buit in?

EDIT:
I installed XP on a clean install. I have nvidia 23.11 drivers for a Geforce3. Everything seems to be ok in general, however sometimes when I try to run counterstrike from Gamespy arcade the computer automatically restarts itself. Other times it works fine. What's my problem, and do I need new video or via drivers?

Just really need the AGP 4.10 drivers.

according to the via faq, the only thing installed from the 4n1's for xp is the inf driver for power management.

You don`t need to install the 4in 1 drivers since XP has native support,I do since I like to have the latest drivers,btw the VIA AGP 4.10 driver you can install on it`s own,I believe it`s not in the latest 4.37a drivers but probably be in the next ones,yes I`ve that installed as well.

So the bottom line is it`s really up to you.

I didn't install any VIA drivers with XP. And yes, I do have a VIA-based board 🙂

Haven't had any problems, so I'm not gonna mess with it.

Problem arose....
Sometimes, not always, Counterstrike causes my computer to restart when I try to start a game.

I take it you`ve auto reboot enabled in XP,anyway you can try a few things like run CS in Win98 compatiabilty mode or D3D,I did have a problem of having XP lockup on exit of CS and I found that running it D3D or 98 Compatiabilty mode with OpenGL solved this.

You did install the Windows 2000/XP NVidia Refresh Rate Fix as well?

Having done extensive testing I HIGHLY recommend using the XP inbox drivers rather than updating the 4 in 1s.
