Where you getting this driver?
All I've ever done is put the CD (that came with the motherboard)
in the CDrom drive, run the auto install and reboot 3 times.

The proper way to do it is to install the SIS AGP before the video card
drivers. Don't know what OS you're using but it's best to bootup in
SafeMode, go into Device Manager and Remove everything under Display
Adapters. There might be a mess in there. You should uninstall the SIS AGP
also because if you installed it more than once it can cause problems and
drive you nuts. Then reboot again in Safe Mode and install the SIS AGP. Then
reboot in regular mode and when Windows detects your video card, steer it to
your drivers.

Depending on your system and video card, the newest version of SIS AGP (or
any companies AGP) isn't always the best one to use for your circumstances.
I'm using SIS 108d with my K7S5A situation. Anything newer causes wild
problems.
