| 178362 | 2003-09-27 10:07:00 | Is the driver an executable file? Just tell us the e x a c t name of the file on the disk. (in the form of filename.extension) |

| 178363 | 2003-09-27 10:11:00 | Godfather: Beetle has been to this page (www.viaarena.com) for the VIA 4 in 1 drivers and it is an .exe file. Beetle: Get the file from the floppy onto your desktop and then run it. Unless Godfather advises otherwise first........ :p |

| 178367 | 2003-09-27 10:30:00 | Im gonna presume you have file extensions hidden,so windows doesn't tell you what sort of file you have,Nifty feature that one MS,keep it up. The file should end with a .zip or .exe extention,telling you wether its compressed or an exacutable,if they are not displayed i suggest you turn that "feature" on. |

| 178368 | 2003-09-27 10:33:00 | Just double click it and it will run,installing your chipset drivers. Providing of course that you do indeed have a via chipset motherboard,which was my best guess seeing as it was asking for via drivers. Next step is getting modem drivers.....But all these should have been provided on the cd's supplied by PC Company. |

| 178369 | 2003-09-27 10:34:00 | If the file is on the Desktop and it's an .exe file then just double click the shortcut and it will self extract and run. You will probably get asked if you want to install several drivers. Click yes on all. One of these will be AGP. One will be IDE etc. Click yes on all of them. | Elephant (599) | ||
| 178370 | 2003-09-27 10:44:00 | :D ok done that bit and it restarted and it came up new hardware found? all correct? need i do anything else? does that mean my modem was not load etc from other disk and i have to do that bit again off the pc disk? beetle |
