video card issues with XP

I think I tried those drivers BobA linked above and they didn't work. No other worked, either. Then I found out that the drivers are inherent in XP, but I don't know if they can be added or whatever via Nlite. Possibly. People have talked about setting the system up so that direct VGA calls are made to the card, but I think that's in a DOS environment. If you're system is that low-powered, you might be in trouble with that setup and card. Maybe upgrade your mobo/processor if you can't figure it out.

I had already tried the drivers BobA mentioned and they did not install. Kept getting errors that the driver software did not match the hardware.

TinyXP does have directx 8.0c. Perhaps that is my problem. I will upgrade that and test the drivers again.

I also tried connecting to the internet and xp did not find a suitable driver either.

However, the good news is that my main problem was with mamewah. I found out that changing my layout has helped some. I can get mamewah to run now but not sure about speed since there is no ati graphics support yet. Will do further testing.

As an update, the problem is solved. I reinstalled tinyXP with the IE,OE,WMP option and then had it do an online check and it found the proper driver and loaded it.

Thanks for the help.

Ummon:

Good to know. I'll have to remember that if I do a TXP install.
