Looks like a mistake on their website - typical!

I didn't have much luck with the new VIA drivers. You're right, it's typical that you can't install them under Win2k, so I installed under Win98SE (dual bootin with Win2k)and got an error message on reboot that said it couldn't find win.com ! Once I restored win.com and rebooted, I got a bunch of vxd errors. Checked my mobo website prior to install and they endorse them for my Shuttle HOT591P. My advice is don't bother !

If it's a link problem on their website, maybe the win2k drivers are hidden somewhere on their ftp? Does anybody knows an access to their ftp?

This will fix your problems. It also fixed my problems with the MPV3 chipset I posted it here a while back but maybe you missed it

 

 

Ok sorry about the caps im just so excited, I was having the black

screen problem in win2k with my pa-2013 rev 2.1 and matrox g400 32 meg

card. only soultion was to drop the apeture to 4 megs and turn off

agp2x. well i was searching websites and happen upon a article on www.tomshardware.com about a fix for win2k and via 133kx chipsets. It

seems that Asus has a beta version of viaagp.sys that they altered and

it was made to fix the problems win2k not seeing the agp port on via

133kx based mobos. Well I said what the hell even thouigh I have a

MPV3 chipset based pa-2013 and I downloaded and replaced my current

viaagp.sys with the new one. WELL HOLY @#$% NOW IM ABLE TO BOOT INTO

WIN2K WITH 128 MEG APETURE AND AGP2X RUNNING SMOOTH AND NO PROBLEMS

AFTER 3 HOURS OF PLAY. I confirmed with powerstrip that agp2x is

activated and apeture is 128. and to think I thought it was an FIC

bios problem. It was VIA all along. Well dont wait goto this link and

download the driver and switch it out in safe mode. YEAH!!!!!

The links haven't been changed - these are the same drivers as before - Win 98/NT 4.0 - I don't think that the Win 2K drivers have been updated at all!
