Vga Controller driver missing

Hello There,

I have a sis 651 motherboard but I cant seem to find the driver for my vga controller as none of my games work at the moment.

can anyone please help me.

 

We're going to need some more descriptive info besides "SiS651". Perhaps the make and model of the motherboard? Even better would be an Everest report. Use the following instructions to attach an Everest report to your next post....

Thanks for your reply, here is my everest report hope you can help me.

 

Hmmmm... it's a bit confusing..... the report shows an unknown ATI chip and the SiS chip. I tracked down the PC manufacturer (Packard Bell) and the model number (I think it's the iMedia 5116se) and they have no video drivers at their web site, but they have some other drivers. You can get them from this link. You can download the SiS video chipset drivers from the motherboard maker (Gigabyte) at this site. It's probably a good idea to install the AGP Filter from the Packard Bell site first, reboot, then install the video driver from the Gigabyte site. If neither of these work, then chances are you have an ATI video card. Since it's based on the RV610 chip, it's probably a Radeon x1650, and you can download those drivers from this link to the ATI drivers.
Good luck!! And keep us posted!!!

many thanks for your reply, I am trying to download the driver from gigabyte website first and see if that works I have tried almost everything else but nothing worked.

I will let you know if I get the driver problem sorted out.

 

I have tried the driver from the gigabyte website and still hasn't worked so I don't know what to try next.

Might have to invest in a pci graphics card to see if that correct the problem.

 

I use to have the same chip set here the drivers

Thanks for all your help but I tried to download the drivers from the sis site and the gigabyte site and plus the packard bell site and nothing has worked so I don't know what to try next.

Any other suggestions can you think of please let me know? im willing to try anything to get the problem sorted

 

i HAD A REALLY hard time getting the drivers for my 651 to install even tho they are they correct ones all i can tell ya is to try manually installing the 651 driver and see if that works that what i had todo

 

Yeah... try installing the drivers manually by using the "have disk" button: Go to the Device Manager and right click on the Video Controller (it should have a yellow question makr ? or exclamation point !), select Update Driver; select the bottom circle and click Next; again, select the bottom circle to install from a specific location and click Next; again, select the bottom circle for "Don't search" and click Next; then on the next screen click the "Have disk" button and the browse to the unzipped video driver and click Next; if you get a warning about how Windows cannot verify compatibility, click "Continue anyway". When it's done, click "Finish" and then reboot the PC.

GOOD LUCK!!!

If this doesn't work, please post exactly what it shows in the Device Manager under "Display Adapters" and please post what it says next to any yellow question marks or exclamation points.

 

I have tried to install it manually and still hasnt worked under the device manager the one with a yellow mark next to it .

Video Controller (VGA Compatible)

 

:confused Strange problem here.... did you install the AGP Filter driver from the Packard Bell web site? Please run Unknown Devices. Then right click on the Video Controller in the Unknown Device list and select Device Details. You should get a long number like VEN_10DE&DEV_0622&SUBSYS_82801043&REV etc. etc. Please post this number or a screen shot of the Unknown Device 'report'. You can also click "File" and choose to "Save list as file" then upload the file to a future post.

 

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_94C4&SUBSYS_0028174B&REV_00\4&3525EC23&0&0008

there you go, its not in the unknown devices its under other devices.

 

Hello All,

Just a post to say thanks for all your help, I have managed to sort out the driver problem.

I had to open my pc base and looked inside and found i had a sapphire hd2400 pro 256mb agp graphics card and downloaded the catalyst driver from their website and it worked no more driver problems.

once again thanks for all your help

You could have solved this LONG ago by following my advice in post #4 above.... oh well... better late than never, right?

 

yeah sorry about all that, atleast the problem is sorted out.
