Cannot find my video card

I recently had to reinstall windows. everything is working fine but XP cannot find my video card (s3 graphics ProSavageDDR). And if I go to device manager there is a yellowed question mark for ''Other devices'' with "Video Controller (VGA compatible)" in the sub menu {which I suspect I need to fix}. But if I try and to install a driver for it, it says that none are available. I have been to www.s3graphics.com and downloaded the latest driver, but if I run setup for it, it says it is unable to run finish the setup.

The error log is as follows:

-> Setup was unable to complete the installation. Check the progress log in your Windows directory for more details.

So it seems that the driver setup can regonise it but it fails to continue.

No worries. I managed to sort it out by doing a google search for 's3 graphics ProSavageDDR' and getting the driver from another site.
