    I have an ABIT KT7A that I just updated the chipset drivers to the VIA 4in1 4.4.3 up from 4.3.1. I am running Win98 SE and when I boot I get New Hardware Found box finding the PCI Host Bridge and it installs the driver. Next pops up an Add Hardware Wizard to search for drivers for the VIA Tech Standard CPU to PCI Bridge. I have to cancel this because I dont have a floppy or disk to point it to as it should have been installed with the update. This happens each time I boot and have tried re-installing the older version of the chipset drivers.

    Any ideas on how to cure this problem?

    TIA

    Can you not click cancel and then let Windows find the driver itself?
    Try to reload the drivers and see what happens.

    What's the purpose of updating the chipset?

    Huhm, I have a VIA Srvc Pack for my motherboard, FP 133 and wonder, what's the purpose of upgrading the chipset? Should I do it even if the M/B is running smoothly and nothing giving me problems?

    These are the motherboard chipset drivers......Not the parts themselves.
    And no, if it is running fine then leave it as is.


    I take it you don't like spying?!?!?!??

    Contrary to other opinions stated here, You should always stay updated on your Via Drivers.
