23720 2001-11-06 02:43:00 On the via website as well as the 4in1 driver updates, there is an update for if you having problems with IDE. I've had problems witheverything else so I'm sure I must have problems here. How do you know if your problems are IDE related. Guest (0)

23722 2001-11-06 05:35:00 Well I'm finally down to a freeze only in the odd game off the CD after about a half to an hour of play. I've managed to get rid of blue screens sound loop freezes etc. My system has an nvdia GeForce 2 and a via chipset, and have spend over a month getting to this stage. Just wondered if this may help.

if you are running an AGP video card, particularly a Nvidia one and you get frequent lockups and reboots under XP/2000, try the following:
Go into the device manager and update the 'VIA Tech AGP to CPU bridge' driver to 'PCI standard PCI to PCI bridge' This will cure your problems but will knock 20-60% off your 3D performance.
