Did anyone notice when installing these drivers in WinXP, that it does not ask you if you want to install it in Turbo mode or normal mode? I think it automatically selects normal mode which would explain my loss of performance in 3DMark2001. I'll try these and see how they go. If anybody else with WinXP has these installed, let me know if your 3DMark scores went down. Thanks.

I installed them on XP, but I also installed the new Detonator 28.32's that were released yesterday.

My scores went up by 60........

On installing the new Via 4in1 4.38 an option asks you if you want to install in either normal or quick install.
A quick install will automatically install all necessary files without presenting you with any options.
A normal install can be used to un-install drivers or not to install particular drivers.

Apparently some people who install these drivers have noted that they often reinstall the slow and crappy default windows drivers. This may explain my huge 3d mark 2001se losses which i was blaming on 28.32 .

You may have to install manually ................... check the driver versions in device manager .

You can't install manually because it is a self extractor. It has its driver files built into the extracter and you cannot install them manually through device manager.

Use Winzip to open the file.....then extract to a directory.

U can also use winace to open the archive.

I usually use WinXP to unzip or extract. Can I use WinXP to open the archive?

 

[Cowboy X]

I don't think so I just tried . Dload winzip ....... its shareware

U can delete it after if u want.

I installed the new 4in1s a few days ago- no problems or weirdness so far.

U need to go to device manager and check the versions on the via drivers there.
