S3 Trio 3D/2X AGP card driver problem, win2k

[mikeymike]

I'm reinstalling an old machine with Win2k, and I'm getting minor graphics corruptions, the occasional pixel jumping a few to the left at any resolution/colour depth/refresh combination above 640x480.

I've tried about 12 different drivers of different versions, for Win2k, NT4 or XP and no difference.

In VGA mode, if I up the resolution to 800x600 though, I don't get the problem.

I think this might possibly be a graphics memory hardware problem, but not sure.

The system has a Via chipset, the motherboard model number is MVP3C, chipset IDs are: VT82C598 and VT82C596.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I've tried reinstalling the machine, no difference. I don't think the problem was there under NT4, but this machine needs USB now.

yeah i think that is a memory problem .. i had the same problem with creative 3d blaster banshee (an old voodoo banshee card).. the colors were going weird sometimes.. weird lines and stuff like that were appearing. using other drivers dont solve the problem. well u'd better get used to life with those problems.
