miku 0 Posted October 30, 2000 Hi, I have a Geforce with a VIA 2X AGP on Windows 2000. I have got 6.31 drivers with via 4 in 1. I have tried everything but i can't get the agp working. The DXDIAG says the agp is working but there is no difference with AGP or Without AGP (tested by 3D Mark). Also I checked it using Direct X 8. It doesn't run the AGP Texturing Test. AGP texturing test results: Failure at step 41 (Creating AGP Surface): HRESULT = 0x8876017c (unknown error) My system is: PIII 450 128 RAM 2X VIA AGP 128 MB AGP Aperature (tried on 64 too) Asus 7100 Geforce MX Please help me. Thanks.. Share this post Link to post

JediBaron 0 Posted October 30, 2000 Your AGP apeture setting should always be 1/2 of your ram, 64 megs in your case. What m/b do you have? And do you have the latest BIOS installed? Is everything setup right in the BIOS settings? If your getting that error, then those are the first thing I'd look at. Secondly, do you have a sb live card? Remove the card and all it's drivers if you do. Then remove your video drivers (in add/remove) and remove your via 4in1 (run the setup again). Then reinstall the 4in1 and then the 6.31 certified drivers. Only after you verify everthing's working, try and install the live card again. Share this post Link to post
miku 0 Posted October 30, 2000 Hi, Firstly, I already had the MS VIA patch. Secondly, I have a SB Live! I removed it from my computer and uninstalled the drivers. Then I removed NVIDIA drivers. Then the VIA 4 in 1. Then reinstalled VIA and then NVIDA drivers. Now it is still the same. Now, what can I do? Secondly, when I install VIA drivers, it doesn't ask me for AGP 2X. It says, it will install the following: VxD Drivers Inf 1.02 then when I click next, it says Install AGP4X/KT133 Uninstall AGP4X/KT133 well, since uninstall wouldn't do anything i choose agp4x/kt133 and install the driver fine. I think this is the problem. My motherboard (QDI Legend BrillianX 8V) supports 2X but this is 4X. Please help! Share this post Link to post
miku 0 Posted October 30, 2000 I am waiting for your reply. I also tried VIA 425a. Same problem. Please help. Reply soon. Share this post Link to post
LM 0 Posted October 31, 2000 on the via download page, there's also a file, agp403d.exe, or something like that, it's supposed to be installed when you do the 4in1, but it's worth a shot to install that separately Share this post Link to post
miku 0 Posted October 31, 2000 Well, I got the individual one too but it is still same, no difference. The problem is: I have 2X and these driver are designed for 4X. Where can I get my drivers. Thanks for helping. Share this post Link to post
yakkob 0 Posted October 31, 2000 Download Powerstrip from www.entechtaiwan.com and select agp2x manually from 'Windows Details'. My BP6 is s'posed to support agp2x, but I can only get it running in agp1x. PowerStrip sussed it for me. Good Luck Yak -- Share this post Link to post
miku 0 Posted October 31, 2000 Guys, I mentioned above that I could get AGP texturing in DXDIAG. Also the 32MB Texture Rendering Test wont work in 3DMARK 2001 V1.1, which clearly shows my agp is not working. I have tried all the above but couldn't get it to work. The error for DirectX 8 is reported above. Please help. ARC Share this post Link to post
