Title: Disturbingly hard to find driver
Post by: Reno on July 12, 2005, 15:44

MSI MS-8808 Vanta/TNT2M64 VER.1A

Its for an agp video card. Ive tried two nvidia drivers one for the riva and the other for the tnt2. All other leads ive found on google have led to nothing but wasted time and aggravation. Please help.

There are 5 different ones aboyt 2/3rds down the page for your card depending which OS youre using  :)

These appear to be ok for 98SE and XP Bob :

Ive used the riva driver from the nvidia site and it didn't work. Ill burn this one to a cd and try it out but it looks like the same driver. I wish i could see the chipset on this @#%& card but theres a bigarse heatsink clipped on with those damned plastic arrow clips.

Im almost certain its not a nvidia card. Thats why i was focusing on the vanta. But ill try one of these in the hopes im wrong.


O yea its win98se

I took a days break and when i came back I did some more searching for the driver at an msi video driver site. Took me all of 10 mins to find it the this time around. Thanks sandra for helping me out.  :)
