NEW Official VIA 4 in 1 Drivers 4.36v !!! Fixes infinite loo

lammypie
New Official Via 4in1 drivers 4. 36v available for download at They include a 'silent' install of the patch to fix the 'infinite loop'error seen with XP and highperformance graphics cards. It is a silent install so all you will see is that the INF driver is being updated, but it will install.
