The standard ones should already be on your hard drive, as the initial Windows setup will have installed them. The VIA 4in1 installer has installed the VIA ones, but shouldn't have deleted the original ones.

If you used a fairly recent version of the VIA 4in1 package, it will have come with it's own uninstaller. Run that, and your system should automatically revert to the Microsoft drivers.

Otherwise, go into the device manager, and do the following for each piece of hardware with VIA in it's name: Select it, choose properties, then device driver, and press the <update> driver button, if available. (not all device names actually have or need a driver). When presented with the manufacturer list, choose Microsoft, and then pick the listed driver. Make sure that for the IDE driver you pick the one that hasn't 'bus master' in it's name.

That should do it.

Well I found VIA BUS MASTER PCI IDE CONTROLLER is this it??
 
Yes, that's the one that is currently controlling your hard drive.

So which I should chose:

Controller VIA Bus Master PCI IDE [5- 5-1999]
Standard Dual controller PCI IDE [ 5- 5-1999]
VIA Bus Master PCI IDE Controller [ 9- 2- 2000]

This one. ;)

I've changed it and still nothing. Still the same problem. Got any other ideas ??
 
Have you likewise updated all other VIA related hardware entries as well? In particular, the AGP interface which is usually listed as a PCI to PCI bridge. That one, like the busmaster driver, can screw up royally.

If so, then I fear that you must follow the more rigorous method of reformatting your C: drive, and reinstalling Windows from scratch. If you do that, only install the graphics drivers and DirectX, nothing else. Then try HoI again and see if it works correctly. If so, then you can reinstall the drivers for one device at a time, checking HoI each time. That way, you can at least track down what piece of hardware/driver combination is the culprit.

thx
 
but ...

but it still dosen't work
 
Just to be clear, you reformatted and it still does not work?
 
no

no I did not reformattet yet I will do it in short period of time (cuple of days)
 
Okay keep us posted.
 
hello again

I just installed Win98se and now I'm downloading graphics drivers and directx. After I do that I'll install HoI and check if it works. I'll post up in about 40 minutes if it works.

Bye
 
Oh Noooooooooooo

Well I've installed win 98se and nothind so I've installed win ME and still nothing :(. please help me
 
well

firstly 61.76_win9x_english (does are latest video card drivers)
secondly directx
and then HoI
 
There has been a critical error 00 in 0028:C023DB7F in VXD VDD (09) + 00001803


something like that
 
Hate to say it may be a hardware unit that has gone bad. Either the Disk controller, the cables or the Hardrive.

Do you only get this error when you try to run HOI or does it happen any other time?
 
So, you are running Windows ME now?

Second question. Do you have all these files on your harddisk? If so, where?

vcomm.vxd
vdmad.vxd
configmg.vxd
vdd.vxd
vmouse.vxd
ntkern.vxd
vflatd.vxd
