upgrade to XP
in [Windows 98]
|
From: Will Gortoa on 2 Jan 2007 14:15 I've managed the upgrade to XP without too many problems... Having used Everest Home to produce a summary of drivers. The only obvious issues at the moment are: I can't get a driver upgrade for... Motherboard Chipset: SiS661FX/GX [the download from their site opens and says it can't find the component] And in Device Manager I've got one stubborn yellow exclamation mark against: Universal Serial Bus [USB] Controllers--->Universal Serial Bus [USB] Controller NOTE: There are 7 other USB components under the above heading that are seemingly installed without an issue. Any suggestions welcomed. Ummm, I guess it's kind of okay to ask these questions in here? Otherwise, is there a reliable [with its own built-in Shep ;)] alternative place to ask XP questions? TIA. :) -- Will Gortoa Running: OS W98SE/2.9GHZ processor/512Mb memory/40GB hard drive/Demon HomeOffice broadband through NAT router/Turnpike 6.05S mail-news reader [IMPORTANT!

THANKS. :)] Just a quick reply (shep`s probably counting ZZZZZzzz) I`d boot it up in safe-mode, and delete most of everything within device manager/system then reboot, as you`ve upgraded from 98se to XP most drivers are different (incompatible) to one another. But wait for Shep anyway (brilliant man)

No "Shep" in the above groups but quite a lot of MS MVPs with some good advice.

[And it was Shep who suggested searching out all the various drivers prior to installing XP. I thought I had, but the aforementioned SiS661FX/GX download didn't 'take', for want of a better way of saying it. And I missed the USB driver issue. I'm not sure how, it was there in the Everest summary - albeit I do find a lot of this stuff involves using the wrong side of my brain! ;)] -- Will Gortoa Running: OS W98SE/2.9GHZ processor/512Mb memory/40GB hard drive/Demon HomeOffice broadband through NAT router/Turnpike 6.05S mail-news reader [IMPORTANT!
