S3 Trio AGP Card Driver Problem

Subject: S3 Trio AGP Card Driver Problem
Comment:

After installing my S3 Trio 3D AGP card and drivers under Win98, I'm not able to configure the System Properties since I get the message that the drivers are corrupted. I get only 16 Colors Display in 640x480 resolution. Everything else works fine. Could any one help me?

If your driver is corrupted go to www.s3.com and get a good driver. And be aware every card has its functional limit.

WIN95 2.1 OR GREATER is required to run an AGP Card. If you are running anything less, you can obtain patches to upgrade. Properties will show you are running 4.00.950B or C and USB support must be installed (You can check in your "ADD/REMOVE program in Control Panel for "USB Supplement to OSR2). This is what caused my problem. Also, if you have a PCI Card installed next to the AGP Slot, move it if you can, some motherboards (if not all) share the IRQ from PCI Socket to the AGP socket next to it, causing conflicts(Slot1 in many cases) I had the same problem with a CardExpert 740. It is based on intel i740 chip so problem may be similar.
