AGP Controller problem
Hi All,
I'm running Win98. The Graphics acceleration has not functioned properly since a freeze-up while installing a program. (program was uninstalled). Slider is on High in Device Manager, but pages load slower than normal. Moving slider all the way off causes jerky scrolling, so I know it's working on some level. In Device Manager, Intel AGP Controller is enabled, but Driver details button is greyed out, and it displays a message, The resources this device is using do not match any of it's known configurations. Also says, This Device is working properly, and no known conflicts. DXDIAG and Everest report that AGP is disabled. This may cause performance penalty. AGP aperture size is more than half of the system memory size. This may cause performance penalty. In Everest, the Aperture sixe is 64MB. I have 128MB installed. Adequate for my uses. I have installed new Drivers for the S3Trio 3D Video Card, no change. I tried removing the AGP Controller in Device Manager, and reinstalling, no luck. I don't remember if it was in Safe Mode or not, though. Any ideas what is causing the problem, and how to get AGP to working properly again? Thanks in advance. charlie R |

Check the BIOS to see if AGP is enabled and if the settings are correct.

When I got to the last paragraph, it became confusing. Initially, you
insinuate you have an Intel chip type video. Then, you indicate an S3 video chip at the end. I've never seen anyone allocate half their system physical memory to video per your aperture setting.

Sorry for the confusion. I should have typed Video Adapter. Everest
reports the Memory Size for the S3Trio Video Adapter as 4 MB. 64MB is the Aperture Size of the AGP Controller. Below is the list of PCI devices, to clear things up, I hope. I was hoping I could fix this problem without going into the BIOS. I've never tried that, and I'm relatively new at this.

Charlie,
Let's get down to basics so we can help. If you do not have the video drivers for your adapter/onboard chip and are unsure of how to obtain/install them, or if you do not have the disk that was supplied with it that contains the drivers, please read and follow the requested suggestions courtesy of a regular in this ng Joe727. If you just reinstalled Windows, or you cannot change to 256, 16 bit, or 32 bit color, you probably need to reinstall your video card drivers. To reinstall your video card drivers, you need to know the exact make and model of your video card in order to install the correct/updated drivers. There are several ways to determine what kind of video card you have. 1. Check the manual that came with your PC. 2. You can open your PC tower to look at the video card and note the name and numbers printed on it. 3. You can download and run this free program. It might be able to determine what kind of video card you have: Everest Home Edition http://www.lavalys.com/products/down...ng=en&pageid=3 To find the Everest info you need to post, run the Everest program, and click the + sign next to Computer on the left side of your screen then click Summary. Then Right click the information on the *right* side of your screen and select Copy. You can then paste the information in Notepad or paste it directly to this newsgroup. Everest will tell you a lot about what's inside your PC. In addition to telling us the *Brand and Model Number* of your computer, please post back the information Everest reports for your: Motherboard CPU Chipset Display PCI/AGP Video Display GPU This information will assist us in finding the correct video drivers, and directing you to the video card manufacturer's website so you can download and install them. *** IMPORTANT *** Remember to tell us the *Brand and Model Number* of your computer which is printed on your PC case or is listed in the manual that came with your computer. -- Brian A.

Brian A.,
Below is the information you requested. I'm not having a problem with the video itself. It's the Graphics acceleration that isn't functioning properly. The AGP is Disabled, according to Everest. It's an IBM 300GL, Model No. 628760U. Intel and IBM are no longer making driver downloads available for this model, from what I could glean from their sites.

Damn that's an old machine and not the easiest to search out info on. I had
found a manual but nothing that helps with the BIOS, only board layout which doesn't show to have an AGP slot. It does mention AGP S3 TRIO3D as the audio component. Is that onboard/integrated sound or and Adapter card. Try finding a newer version driver at: http://www.driverguide.com/ They have many S3 Trio3D drivers. Free registration. You can actually use the old default for everyone: username: drivers pw: all Before doing so see if there is a way to enable the AGP in Display Properties Settings Advanced button. Also check the BIOS to make sure AGP hasn't been disabled there. Press the Pause key during POST ( screen that shows the BIOS type/date, memory count and hardware detection ) Look on the screen for which key to press to enter the bios In the BIOS look for a screen that mentions video and the type to use. If it doesn't show AGP, change it to AGP if possible, then Save change and Exit to reboot. I have another trick or two up my sleeve to find info but don't hold your breath at this moment. Good luck for the time being. -- Brian A. Conflicts start where information lacks. http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "charlie R" wrote in message ... Brian A., Below is the information you requested.

Hi Brian,
Well, I finally found out which key gets you into the BIOS. (Press and hold down F1 while pressing the Power button. It gives a keyboard error which gives you the option to enter Setup Menu. In the Video setup menu there was no option to enable AGP. Video Setup Menu 1. Video Controller S3Trio Inc, Trio3D 2. Video Memory 4096KB 3. Video Aperture 64MB 4. Primary Display [PCI] 5. Palette Snooping Disabled 6. Video Interrupt [Enabled] Advanced Settings had no mention of AGP. I decided to install the updated S3Trio3D drivers I downloaded some time ago, in case I needed them. I followed the instructions in the ReadMe file, and the install went fine. Video acceleration is working great now! Everest still shows AGP is disabled, but the S3Trio is an AGP device, so I guess that's all that's needed. Acceleration is much smoother and faster now. Thanks for your help. I've only been using this computer for 2 and a half years. My husband told me how to turn on the power, and away I went. A great learning experience at my age. (64) The machine is old, but I'm not so young myself. Thanks again. charlie R "Brian A." gonefish'n@afarawaylake wrote in message ...

Glad to hear all is better. As for a choice to enable/select/use AGP:
#4-Primary Display [PCI]. This is what needs to be changed to AGP. Hilight #4-Primary Display [PCI], press Enter or what ever the screen shows to use to see the options, should give you the choice of choosing between PCI and AGP, select AGP, press Enter.
