Not sure which forum this should be on, try here first...

Fresh install of Window NT4 with SP6a, and I'm logged on as Administrator. Laptop has a SiS M650 video chipset. Tried a number of different video drivers, but get the same message when trying to install new driver:-

"The drivers were not successfully installed. You may not have the required privileges to install a new driver."

Since I am definitely logged on as Administrator, I take it that this message merely indicates I've just not found the correct driver yet...

Where did you get the drivers from?
 
Tried a goodly selection of drivers from the DRIVERGUIDE.COM site which claim to work for NT4. I have looked at the SiS download site, but none of them state they will work with that op system. I have in fact tried a few of the SiS drivers albeit they're not designated as suitable for NT4, but no joy. Whether I try SiS drivers or any others, I always get the same response "...You may not have the required privileges..." etc. I wanted to be sure that this really is a driver issue, not some weird NT4 response...

If anyone can point me to an NT4 driver for this chipset, I'd be very grateful.
