I tried pointing it at the unzipped files that I had downloaded from VIA Arena.
It did not find anything that it would install.
That was my first idea after seeing the wizard pop up again.

There must be some left over start up file that is calling for the wizard... I think I need to...
I have a homebuilt running an AMD 1700+ on a Shuttle AK31A motherboard.
I decided my 4in1 drivers (which were part of the original installation over two years ago) must be getting a bit "long in the tooths" So I went to the Shuttle web site and downloaded the newest drivers for my MB. I ran the...
Thanks I downloaded the Hyperion 4.49 drivers and followed the install instructions.
Everything loaded normal and at the end was told to restart the computer to finish the installation. (is this sounding a little familliar?)
Sure enough up pops the "Found New Hardware" Wizard. When I tell it...

Yes, the computer came with 128 and was running Linux. I put in another 256 immediately to bring it up to 384 and installed XP.
It probably would have operated faster with Linux, but for a computer for the grandkid's I did not want to take the time to learn a new OS and hunt around for some...
Unfortunately, my plan was just to make these computers more useful. It may turn out that the cost of upgrading is more than it is worth.
The tag on the back says they arre Behavior Tech Model 12-SS-M786, no other information is found. The owner's manuals have gone missing.... (I hate losing...
Infos... I tried your link, but it appears to be dead. bummer...
I am trying to upgrade a couple of computers I bought on sale at Fry's. I got them for the grandkid's, but even for them they are anemic... they currently have the Samuel2 chipset with a C3 733 Mhz SOLDERED to the motherboard...
My Shuttle AK31A rev3.1 has gone strange on me..... It started acting bizarre a week ago and now is over the top.
I had a single 100Gig drive connected to IDE 0, CD Burner and standard CD on IDE 1, and a Promise Tech FastTrak 100TX2 RAID card with two IBM GXP60's 40Gig's stripped. Initially I...
Thanks.......... that makes me feel better.......... I should have found that myself, but I had to take my wife out.... she get's a little grumpy if I spend all of my time playing with computers............ even her's!!
Perhaps you could share some of your "search secrets" with us...
Slick..... After making these attempts I was getting a message each time XP started that their had been "serious errors" I could not get Norton DD to run and I assumed that the message I was getting from Norton about some other application controlling the disk was due to these errors.
Therefore...
Unfortunately the Error Fix 1681 did not function......... the instructions are for NT and 2000. I did try all of them, but after the first phase (steps one thru 4) I re-attempted and got the same message
File 6653 (128)
plus after that another file message of
File 1635017028 (544434464)

<< [i]Morning....thank you, Dapunisher, for your kind words. I enjoy the challenge, so it's fun for me. HiHo, found this at Powerquest's site. This should fix the error you're getting. It has to do with the way fat/ntfs deal with "compacted" files:
<< [i]
Actually there are compressed...
Slick, I failed to mention earlier that I do not have any compressed files on this partition.
I will go check it out.........
The attempt may have caused some other problems... in trying to answer this thread (which I am embarressed to still be asking questions.... people are starting to...
<< :( I really just wanted to say that since I've been perusing the threads here at AT that Slikkster has provided, hands down, the finest pro bono tech support I've ever read :cool: When others would have desisted in their attempts to assist you, he went above and beyond to research and...
As I already had used Partition Magic Pro 7 to do the initial partitioning, it seemed the best choice to use it to change the file system back to FAT32.
I disabled GoBack....
Then I uninstalled GoBack.....
I attempted to run Partition Magic from windows for the conversion..... it reboots to...
Well Slick my wife's computer is coming back up to speed........ Doing the Win2k install did in fact wipe the entire raid, but oh well... that's what happens when you get impatient and don't wait for the "Slickster's" replies..........
Ran into a small problem getting the XP installation boot...
Boy I wish I would have waited until I got home from this trip to try and fix the problem.......... unfortunately I did not I was up until 4am the morning I was supposed to leave.... It is sad it is such an easy fix...
After I had no success I went back and re-formatted the drive (wasted a...
Hey Slick I hope your out there some where...........
I have somehow borked my wife's computer......... everything was going so well I installed a cd-burner on her machine...... everything was fine until I installed the software from the manufacturer.. VeloCDR/CDRW
Now every time I try to...
Thanks Slick......... I will give her a go..........
The Outlook worked just fine... after upgrading the win98 partition to version 6 I was able to find all of the messages and import them just fine.
The only problem with the XP install is before I can do it I have to turn off the GoBack...
Slick... thanks for the very detailed help!
I may not have been clear on the XP issue. XP is currently on the E drive, which is the second partition on my raid. However the dual boot menu is loaded on the Western Digital drive so the dual boot option only comes up when I boot from the WD.
I...
Thanks Slick...... while I was browsing around the Roxio web site I ran across a rwo page explanation of exactly what you have to do to get go back to work with XP.
You will be glad to hear that XP is up and running and I am loading programs.............
Ran into a couple more questions...
Looks like I may be in trouble..........
The version of GoBack I am using is the 3.0 Personal edition........ it comes with Norton System Works 2002. Unfortunately, it does not appear that any of the XP updates apply to anything except the "deluxe" version that you buy direct from Roxio...
:disgust:
Well Slick, here is the latest.........
The good news is .......... I got a little farther this time...........
To protect the good working operating system on my Raid drive (normally C) I set the bios to boot from the WD drive I have hooked to ide_0.
I copied all of the files from...
<< Yo...
You say after you ran the install process and it copied files, etc. that the computer "booted up Win98" in 640x480 mode...what makes you think it was Win98? >>
The windows 98 Splash Screen........
<< Did you choose "New Install"? >>
Yes
<< At the first reboot you should...
Hi Slick, I am back in town for a couple of days..........
I tried the XP install again..... this time I located the "advanced" selection you mentioned. It had two places to select options, so in the top one where it wants to know where to install windows I told it E:\
In the bottom window I...
Thanks for the VIA link.......... I made sure I had the latest version of the bios for this MB, but did not think about updating the VIA drivers....
Thanks,
Steve
**see page 3
Thanks for the reply Slick......... I was thinking maybe it did not offer that to me because I had booted into Win98 when I put in the CD... I wondered if I boot off the CD itself if it would ask me where I want it.
I will go back and look for the advanced options button you mentioned. Does...
<< Putting the swap file on a small partition on the WD drive makes more sense (in my opinion, I should say), because it's got an entirely different controller that can transfer information concurrently with whatever's going on with the Raid array. No sequential read/writes like you would have...
<< Working on the networking problem. Please specify how you're connecting to the Internet, and separately, how are you dealing with a local network?
In other words, are you using Dial-Up Networking to connect to the Internet, and using a local Lan for talking to other computers? What other...

Slick if you don't mind I would like to ask you another question....................
Now that we have the problem with the Ghost copy of my original drive mostly sorted out....... this was my plan.............

Slick you are as good as your name...............
After copying the files to the windows\system folder and rebooting............ all was almost right with the world.............
NO BLUE SCREENS!!!! YEA...................
However, (there always seems to be a however doesn't there.....) I...
Thanks Oldie...... I will run through my bios file and see how my settings compare... I have not overclocked the board at all yet..... just trying to get it to run stable with the optimized settings in the bios.
I think one of my problems has been to much ram, so I am pulling back to 512 until...
<< One thing you absolutely need to do until Windows is setup is limit your ram to 512 mb. After it's set up you can make a simple entry in your system.ini file to get around that. The problem is Windows 98's vcache. I'll edit this as I go along and keep reading your stuff.
Ok, I've re-read...
Hello, I am tearing my hair out with problems on an AK31A. I did a search, but cannot find the "Official" thread that used to be here.......
Would several of you AK31A folks mind posting all of your BIOS settings so I can compare mine and see if that is where my problem is???????
I am running...
Ps. Thanks to eveyone making suggestions......... I will check back in when I return... I have to be out of town until 31DEC01.
Hopefully by the time I have returned one of you will have a solution for me......................
Thanks again
Steve
I did a re-install with the sound card, video card, and network card installed... then did a re-install with just the sound and video.
It gets weirder and weirder........ I am wondering if having that ps (blue/black) connector plugged into the mb cpu fan power header has caused some permenant...
Yes the cpu fan is plugged into another header on the MB.
Could having these (blue/black) wires plugged into the cpu fan outlet under the agp slot cause damage to the power supply and/or motherboard?
Thanks,
Steve
Yeah........... I was trying to do it the "easy" way...................
I get the Invalid VxD message every time I try to boot into windows....... I can boot into safe mode with no problems..... but everytime I try to get into windows itself I get the VNBT message from above......... If I tell...
Well....... it has not all worked yet......... I am not sure what is happening now.... it seemed to be working pretty well when I did a clean install of the OS on one of the new HD's.
So I got brave and imaged over my old HD, deleted the above files and fired it up.... I had occasional blue...
:)
I may have found the problem .....
In snooping around I found a pair of wires (blue and black) coming off the power supply and running to a connector on the motherboard under the video card. I had not noticed them in my son's machine... so I went to take a closer look. He had the wires...
