video card issues with XP
mlcampbe:
I wanted to upgrade my old machine to use XP but was not sure it would run so I have installed tiny XP to test with. XP starts and runs but apparently either tiny XP or XP in general is having an issue with the video card.
When running mamewah it never displays anything and the log file shows errors about not able to get colors.
According to the info printed on the physical video card it is an ATI rage pro 128 but I cannot find any driver that will work for it. All the drivers say that the driver does not match the card or that the driver is for windows 95/98.
Under display/advanced/adapter it does not show any value. Also running gpu-z doesn't help as it shows unknown architecture.
Anyone know if the ati rage 128 pro card will work with XP or not?
Ginsu Victim:
I think ummon had issues with the same card (or similar) recently. Maybe he'll pop in soon with some advice.

Try this download
Driver Link
Rusty Shackelford:
If you can conect it to the interweb go system/device manager and windows xp will search for the driver.

The version of TinyXP I have doesn't have DirectX installed to save space. Perhaps you have the same issue?

The version of TinyXP I have also doesn't have any ODBC drivers so anything with a database (GameEx front end) doesn't work. I spent hours trying to make it work and it just wasn't happening.
