But on the drivers download page there is a Via four-in-one driver for Windows. On the specs page the motherboard is identified as using the Via KM266/8235 chipset. After a bit more googling and rummaging, it looks to me as though this is an onboard Via/S3 Savage 8. So try the S3 Savage driver. If that doesn't work, say so and I'll rummage again. HTH. PWR.
