Thank you cdob after finding the three files mentioned online cause none of my copies of xp had them it installed fine and the card is working wonderfully. Thanks to all who posted to help me through this, once again experience prevails. :-)

Oh and no I dont have it properly working on any of these machines. I have it working good on a 98 machine though due to the standard drivers for the card which I got off the Driver disk for card lol :-)

I will check and see if it has those files, If not I have like 6 copies of xp I will dig till I find them. Hopefully it will work I will let you know how it works out for me.

Strange, XP should support this graphic card out of the box.

Does your XP CD contain files sgiu.inf, sgiulnt5.sys and sgiul50.dll?
Based on HardwareID, these three files should support your graphic card.

Do you have this device installed and working properly on any one of the systems?

Thanks for the effort mr_smartepants but these drivers as well recieve the "this file doesnt contain information for your device" error screen. Gotta love trying to make old drivers work on new stuff. I actually am going to look into how drivers are wrote and try to edit the Win NT drivers to work with XP I was just trying to see before, before I went that far, if any of you out there would have something on this.

Thanks again,
Dichani

I found this driver on driverguide (don't get me started!) which claims it's for XP, but the .inf doesn't mention XP. You could try it and see.

Obscenely long URL here

Doing a google search for "trident VEN_1023&DEV_9850&SUBSYS_98501023" brings up the same link to driverguide.

Well the Windows NT Drivers were a valiant but fruitless effort.

The Hardware ID is as follows,

PCI\VEN_1023&DEV_9850&SUBSYS_98501023&REV_F3\3&225B1D41&0&0008

Thanks for the effort

NT4 drivers:

Good luck.

Added:
Which HardwareId does a Trident 3D Image 9850 use?

Does default XP sgiu.inf match?

[trident.Mfg]
Trident Video Accelerator 3D Image985     = sgiul50, PCI\VEN_1023&DEV_9850

Hey it never hurts to try, if you would please download and post for me I would appreciate it alot. Thanks again for looking.

I would give the NT drivers a shot... I haven't seen any for XP as of yet myself either...

The best I have been able to locate thus far is the driver for WinNT.

If you would like to try that driver, I will gladly dl it and post for you.

Oh but if it were only that easy. Device Manager is useless calls the card "Standard VGA Device" lol. The manufacturer of the card doesnt even support it anymore. Its a good card for the machines they are in but the only drivers I can find for the cards is for windows 98. Like I said this is a last resort I have been everywhere I can think of to find the correct drivers for this thing and nothing I even braved the dreaded waters of Driverguide.com >.< The drivers needed arent included with SP2 I can scroll down in a webpage and watch the screen refresh :-)

Can you look on your existing machines for the driverfiles in use? Go to your Device manager, double-click on the Trident card, select the 'Driver' tab, click the 'Driver Details' button.
Look for files called "trid3d.dll" or similar. I'm guessing the drivers you need are already included in WinXP_SP2 driver.cab.
