3D Rage II+ Drivers (or, Can Drivers Be Copied Off Of Another Computer?)

February 23, 2007 12:07 PM

LegacyVideoCard Filter: Can I get video drivers off of the other computer? (or do you know where to get them?) This is an ATI 3D Rage II+ .

So there's two computers. For irrelevant reasons, I needed to swap the video cards in the two machines. I was able to grab new drivers for the Radeon card, but I can't find the driver cd, or find drivers online, for the 3D Rage II+. Now, they're obviously on the old computer - is there a way to get them off? I've tried anything that says "ati" from the drivers folder, but I think I need, at minimum, a .inf file. Is there a way to copy drivers to another computer? Both computers are running Windows XP Pro.

Or even better, do you know where I can find them online?

Perhaps try this?

Or one of these?

Response by poster: As far as I can tell, Driver Collector worked amazingly. Unfortunately, it looks like my boss pulled the video card - so I can't check until Monday.


odinsdream: That could make sense - I found several drivers online, but nothing ran under XP. Driver Collector said it was an ATI driver though....


Thanks for the help! Driver Collector has just been added to my computer toolkit - I had no idea such a tool existed.
