ATTN: DGF - N2K2 Pauses

Don't know if you're still having trouble... This is what solved my problem - installing the AGP drivers for my operating system (Win98 SE) - thanks to Greger Huttu for that pearl of wisdom. I'd rebuilt my PC, formatted and reinstalled everything but didn't realise I'd have to install specific AGP drivers for my motherboard. I was getting stutters and the occasional pause but now I'm smooth and trouble free, with much better performance to boot. Appologies if this is old news and/or common knowledge. Cheers, Mark Reading, UK

Where do you get these AGP drivers? "Mark" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Even then, you may be pointed to the website of the AGP's chip manufacturer. A lot of the mobo's out today use the Via chipset (and AGP drivers are included in their 4in1 drivers found here www.viaarena.com) Be sure to know your mobo's name and model number. If you have a hybrid board, and it has Via and AMD, typically the AMD will be the North Bridge and that is the AGP, so www.amd.com and look for their NorthBridge drivers. (766 Chipset IIRC) Any other mobo combos I am not familiar with, but you see where I'm going. Find the website of the manufacturer of either or both the mobo and AGP chipset.

Thanks Mark. I'm going to look into the AGP and see if it isn't somehow the cause of the problems. I have a feeling you might be right. David G Fisher "Chad Sparks" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ucu%8.42388$[email hidden]...
