Hi there,

just noticed that this a helpful forum for beginners so here's my problem:

I am finding it difficult to get a driver for my AGP S3 Trio in my old clunky P11 boat anchor. I have used hardware diagnostic s/ware to come up with the following numbers associated with my v/card- here they are:
IBM 8514 / S3 Incorporated Trio 3D/ROM location c000-ct ff (32 k) / 2048 kb.

none of this information has helped me get a driver. (I am running Win. ME- P11 200MHZ/ 32 MB RAM/ 5 GB HDD and the v/ card is obviously stand alone and not onboard.

I have what looks to be 8 bit video quality and all greys and black with- not able to look at pics etc.

Any help finding a driver would be much apprreciated

We really don't do email - but by posting yours, you've made it fair game for the Spam merchants

I find it hard to believe that WinME wouldn't have that card in its driver library, and be able to supply a driver

First hit on Google, perhaps that's the one

Sure - that'd the sensible place to start in most cases

You can get that same driver there (or the beta version)

If all else fails, try using the ID tool, offered at both links

It amazes me that we get asked the same questions, when most manufacturers offer drivers themselves.................

I never know quite what to think when they claim to have "searched & searched" (or words to that effect) - - I guess everywhere but the internet - even stranger when they've actually identified the hardware.

Ah, well - really, we only hear from the ones who fail - for every one of those, likely a thousand that manage

i have a color problem that i asume is my video card. i am running winME and only have 16 color with 640x480 it was running on the standard display PCI driver so i downloaded and installed the proper driver from the manufactur's (jetwaycomputer.com) site. I got my 256 color and true color back alright...but the display was CRAZY and all i got was bright crazy fluoro colors and everything was all motly you can bearly see anything from the fluoro yellow blue and green, and pics are completly motled and impossible to see at all (note: there not moving or jumping it's just eh color scheme)...i have changed every setting i can think of and i can't fix it, my only option was to uninstall and go back to the PCI standard driver and use 16, i'm at my wits end......it's a jetway P4MFM motherboard video card and the video card is a S3 Prosavage DDR (420, 430) i have been searching for an end to this pain for weeks.....please help me...i even did a complete reformat and still have the same problem.as far as i can tell from my constant searching is that i'm the only person on this planet to have ever had this problem...
P.S i'ts not my monitor as i have tried it on other pc's and it's fine. and it works fine with the 16 colors just looks horrid and everything huge and i can't see pics.

very computer savy, but why do i get the problems that noone else has ever had.
