try this, it might work

ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/windows/drivers/pro2w31.zip

damn., shows u how old this is. do i install it under windows 3.1?

use whatever the latest OS is available in the file so if its 3.1 then use it, but no guarentees it will work

It only contains drivers for 3.1

Hasnt the entire driver model been changed since then? :/

---

it didnt work, but i found another one lieing round. i think its a PCi, this was wrote down on it, although i dunno if its any use to y'all:

S3 TRI064V
VID PCI

theres more numbers and that but I dunno if it'll help, any ideas for that?

is there any words on it, because you really need the name of a brand if you have a chance to install it

[edit] if possible post written everything on it

Anyway, to the point,

Try these:

thanx shawnz i'll chek all them in a sec, as for what's written on it heres EVERYTHING:

(kills his neck readin it all now, coz its been put in upside down, lol)

S3 TRI064V
     H1A3BE

S6C765
9550 B44628 1
KOREA

It looks just like that, ecept S3 is bigger and takes two lines, making the TRI064V is directly above the H1A3BE bit but are both next to S3, if that makes any sense.

I'm guessin the last bit means that's wer it was made lol

on the other side has alot morenumbers on stickers but tyhats mostly bar codes, FCC ID's etc.

Ps. if i download the 64V in NT 4.0 version, will that work with XP and if it does can some1 post step by step instructions on how to install it, coz ive jus been looking at the read me, and it tells me to click things that dont exsist, do things that i know wont work etc.?

sorry to double post, nbut i wanted to raise this again, because only reaper is still online and im hopin that someobdy else might know the answers

i thought that too by the file name, so i downloaded that, but i dunno how to install it (btw, wen i plug my montor in to the S3 card, nothhing comes up, it jus stays black so I'm viewing this on the orchid tech card, althugh i think its possible to install drivers for S3 with this, and then switch between the two, i just dont know how to install it.)

extract it to some folder, then run the add/remove hardware wizard, click have disk, enter that folder's path, click OK, and it should appear right on the screen, then just click install

i think its installed, i'll post in abut 5 mins and tell y'all how it went, shawnz, if this works, may the lord bless you lol

Edit: it didnt work i really am stumped now it has defo installed, coz S3 colour control is the control panel, and i find it in the properties panel, but wen i try puttin the monitor into that driver, theres jus blackness.

video adapter isnt in the list

There are many ways to go there....
- right clicking and choosing properties on "My Computer"
- choosing display in the control panel
- etc.. etc..

or:
Start > run > devmgmt.msc

Then:

Just to clarify Cookie's post for the English version of XP, the item you're looking for isn't the first in the list (Computers). The one you want in "Display Drivers" (3rd one down).

I assume the right-click menu is the same (Stuurprogramma bijwerken.. = Update Driver...)

ok, ive found it, but heres something, my orchid technologies isnt in the list. ive got two S3 ones that loook like this:

S3 Incorperated display picture v2.00.18 (which doesnt work, under code 37 )
S3 Trio 32/64

im guesin i haver nodrivers installed for orchid technologies, which would explain why I'm still on 16 colours with shit resloution.....?

sorry to double post, but i wanna bring this issue back up as no body has replied..... basically, i found simular way to install the stuff, (long story) using the add hardware wizard but i have a problem, its installed the OT Prodeisgner IIs ISA drivers but cant use em down to "code 10" whatever that means.... i dont think i have ET4000 whatever that is. If anyone knowas what im talking about or they think they can help, pelase do

(Ps. there was OT Prodeisgner IIs ISA and OT Prodeisgner IIs EISA, so installed both of em, both have the same problem [Code 10])

Edit: The OT Prodeisgner IIs EISA is starting to work!!!!!!!!!! lol na seriouisly, i got 16 bit colour now lol but still shit resloution, anyway i can improve this? (plus, since i've installed this, my computers gone very slow, can i solve this too?)

What exactly have you done? What exactly are you doing? What exactly have you in that PC atm?

Slowing down problem: Have you attempted to install those Win3.1 drivers? This could well cause that problem. Another cause can be that some other graphic drivers (whatever you have installed; those S3 trio drivers maybe?) are not XP compatible but must be run in emulation mode (which slows down XP a lot)

The errors:
1) It sounds like you still have those other drivers installed. Always uninstall old drivers or not working drivers first before you attempt to install other drivers!
2) Never install more than 1 graphics driver!!
3) The S3 Incorperated display and S3 Trio 32/64 are card or drivers (whatever you have done or mean) which you have installed. Again, uninstall those first. Also the drivers I listed are for the Orchid card, not for the S3
4) The Orchid card IS an ET4000 graphics processor card. It has a max resolution of 1024x786.

----------------------

It all sounds like you are mixing everything up and mixing drivers with graphics cards etc, etc... Begin from a clean slate and follow instructions exactly. Concentrate and remember what you are doing and don't mix things up. If nothing works, buy a decent cheap graphic card (including drivers). A basic graphics card costs nothing these days....

Right, ive uninstalled all the S3 shit, and totally taken tha card out from the computer, the only driver i hve now is the OT Prodeisgner IIs EISA card, which has at the moment, 16 bit colour and no resloution options. 16 bit colour can easily do me (although I'd like more, im not arsed whatsoever) but the resloution is a pain, and the computer is still acting quite slow. Btw, ive only installed XP last nite, so theres no wehay I've got any crap on it, etc.

not sure if this will make a difference, but have u installed the service packs?

ive installed service pack 1, sevice pack 2 caused fuckin havoc last time i put it on so i aint doin it this time, that'll jus slow it down more.

i have a 4GB hard drive..... SP2 is practically 1GB, u have no idea how tough life is with it....... u cant have any room for shit, and it slows it down even slower than it is now

so nobody can help me? i badly need to get this PC working again, its too slow to do anythin on it

Sorry, if nothing which was suggested in this thread worked, then buy a new graphics card (and update your Windows fully).

kk thanx
