Video card not supported for WinXP??

[Guest]

Hi

I upgraded my PC to Windows XP Professional SP2.

All drivers devices was installed for WinXP program installation.

Only one not: video card.
There is a SR9 AGP SDRAM NLX 8MB Video card.

When XP try to install drivers, the system detect it as "S3 Graphics Inc.
Savage 4", but when the copy files begin, the copy process is interrupted.
A "Invalid data" message appears in the window properties of this device.

I browsed on many drivers pages, searching XP drivers from my video card.
I downloaded and tested some drivers, but the result is same.

The question is:
SR9 AGP SDRAM NLX 8MB Video card is not supported for Windows XP?

I hope yes.

On Windows 2000 Professional this video card works perfectly.

Can help me anybody, please??

Go to the store or order on-line a new AGP video card that
is supported by XP. You need at least 64 MB to get decent
video performance.


You can expect to pay $20-$30 US

THIS is the proper driver for that card. Try it before spending money.
