Hi, I concure with Confused a year ago I installed XP on my amd via PC and just used xp's VIA drivers and have had no problems to speak of, none related to the 4 in 1 drivers that I know of.

Thank you. I did not install the 4 in 1 drivers but I did have to install the USB 2.0 drivers. Everything is working great so far.
