Also in the post is the recommendation to use the 4-in-1 version of the Via driver, which I did. I rebooted...and promptly locked up. Holy Cow! Back to the Windows disk and repair install. But now the Via download has indeed put viaagp1.sys onto my drive. Everything goes smoothly. If the windows install fails or hangs, remember to put your bios back into failsafe mode. I reboot...and Windows does actually detect my video card (3dfx Voodoo3) and I'm in business! Big thanks to JiminElkGrove on Via Arena Forums for the key to the whole thing!! Note : I keep most of the geeky stuff these days over at Duane's Brain, so if you didn't find what you were looking for here, check over there. Never know!

Re: VIAAGP1.SYS - SOLVED
Where did you get the viaagp1.sys driver? I am having the exact same problem, but I can't find the driver anywhere...
Comment from jim on March 9, 2005 12:59:19 AM EST
NOT SOLVED - EVERY PLACE I GO TO DOES NOT WORK - OUTDATED ETC - WHAT'S THE CATCH ??
I'M VERY TIRED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found the whole set of drivers on the Via site (www.viaarena.com). their website sucks (don't bother to do a search for anything you won't find it). Make your way to: Downloads -> Drivers -> XP -> "Chipset or platform driver" and then download the "Version 5.17A of the Hyperion Pro driver" set (or whatever is the current version). I unzipped the files onto a USB thumb drive and stuck that in my computer. Had to reboot so the thumb was recognized, but once you've done that, owhen the XP install hangs again looking for the driver, choose "browse" and find the driver on your thumb drive.

Never mind...duh. I guess I should have paid attention to the site I was on...

Comment from mario on March 25, 2005 2:57:46 PM EST
I found the VIAAGP site and it has numerous driver downloads. Even the VIAAGP1.sys has numerous choices. Since I'm the end of the End Users, and can only discern my OS is Windows XP Pro, I know that driver is supposed to apply to that. But when I downloaded it, it went into my Windows file. I noticed it does not activate by clicking on an "Executable" extension. So I'm at a loss to figure out how to get it running and recognized by Windows XP, unless I have to reinstall XP and hope it see the file in the Windows Folder. wiljon
Comment from wiljon on March 27, 2005 10:09:14 AM EST
not knowing your original problem i will explain mine.
i was repairing my winxp home via the install cd and during the repair it asked for VIAAGP1.SYS and its location. i browsed for the file through the window asking for the file and clicked OK and the repair continued.
hope this helps

I think it was mentioned above, but this file can be found by unpacking the via 4in1 driver with winrar.

Unpacking from the VIA 4in1 driver is the quickest and easiest way to resolve this issue. Thanks Al for the post. It saved me tons of time!

I burned the file on a CD and browsed to it... seemed to go on fine, but then asked for windows XP CD again... even that went fine but a few minutes later the installer froze... might have nothing to do with the VIAAGP thing, though...

Thanks! It appears to have worked for me. All I did was burn the unzipped files to a disk and put the disk into the PC needing a WinXP repair. Pointed to the new disk and VOILA! Thanks.

Comment from marty wild on August 6, 2008 1:00:09 PM EDT

, it asked for viaagp1.sys, a file which you do not have. You ignored it, it looked like installation was proceeding...and then you just hung. Or maybe you booted fine but Windows now has no clue what your AGP adapter is, and everything is just generic default (what happened to me).
