  can somebody who uses the VIA 133 4-in-1 drivers(either v4.28 or v4.29) do
a file search and see if you can find this file:
viagart.vxd         if you find it, can your reply as to WHERE in the
windows folder it should be?  Thanks.
I'm guessing the system folder.   I updated to the 4.29 4in1's and now I
keep getting this error message about that file being missing before windows
boots.  I found a registry entry but that does't tell me where the file
should go...I do HAVE the file, it's in the temp folder where I installed
the drivers.
  Sorry to pester you here but the MSI motherboard newsgroup seems concerned
with bios updates only these days.

Why not just try the system folder?

Well I checked and yes, it's there (system folder).

Dave.....

It goes in the Windows System folder....and the Sysbackup folder.  Where
ever you are downloading the VIA 4in1 drivers from, you are getting an old
file (at least 3 months old), since this was a known problem and fixed long
ago....by VIA.  When they originally released 4.28a and the final 4.29a
4in1's....it had a corrupted installer.  It was fixed.....just a few days
after that....but many sites had already downloaded and posted the corrupted
one.  Obviously, somebody has never corrected (replaced) theirs....and you
are downloading from them (?) (Sounds like something the "Guru3D" site would
do...I've downloaded one too many "corrupted files" from that site in the
last several months....no more, I've deleted them from my Favorites listing
now).  If you have an MSI mobo, doesn't it have an AMD northbridge chip?
Why would you need the VIA 4in1's then?

PS:  There are three "viagart" files, an ".inf" ......".vxd" .....and ".cat"
.......now, which goes where?

You still need the 4in1 drivers even if you have an AMD northbridge.
These motherboards still have a VIA southbridge.
