Dear Paul, thank you for your response.

I tried to act through Add Hardware (Control Panel). I asked Show All Devices and found the AMD-8151 Hyper Transport(tm) AGP3.0 Graphics Tunnel. It was only one line with AGP. I clicked Next but there was a full crash of my computer after Restart. (I restore my system from image.)
I found 9 lines of the ATI Technologies, Inc. there, but I cannot find which line to try.
Where can I find this?
Thank you

So "SiS Accelerated Graphics Port" is your AGP interface. And it
has a problem. Check the properties and see what error number
it is reporting. Perhaps someone else can help you with that.
To repair it, you do not want motherboard_driver_vga_sis_661fx_651.exe.
That is the VGA driver. That is the next level up of software. And
I thought you were using an ATI graphics card.
You also do not want to add AMD-8151 - it has nothing to do with your hardware, at all.
The AGP driver is in the "Chipset" section of the Gigabyte downloads here.
Reinstalling it, won't necessarily fix it, depending on what the real problem
is. But once you post the error number reported by Device Manager
for the malfunctioning "SiS Accelerated Graphics Port", someone
else may have a suggestion on how to fix it.

Also, if you make further postings, it might help slightly, to
mention what video card you are actually using, ATI brand or otherwise.
Verify that the monitor is plugged into that card (in other words,
that your video is actually coming through an ATI video card, or
whatever card is in fact being used).
I think SIS has a utility, called "AGPUtil.exe", which can be
used to set some of the properties of the SIS AGP slot. Whether
your problem is registry related or not, may become clearer when
you post the error number.

When you move a window, it is drawn by "waves" on the screen.Your video is no longer accelerated, because some driver is not working.
The message "No ATI graphics is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly" appears at computer startup.
The yellow "?" is near the SiS Accelerated Graphics Port position in Device Manager and in Properties there is the message "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)" in Properties.
When I try to install drivers (from the Gigabyte site), I receive the message: "The system cannot recognize the device. Please make sure that the device is configured correctly, and then run Setup again."
Registry cleaning by some programs did not fix the problem.
How can I correct this?
Thank you

This is your motherboard and its support page.

Your motherboard has an SIS651 Northbridge with built-in video. That
is what drives the VGA connector in the I/O plate area of the motherboard.
To use the built-in video, you'd use
Chipset driver (enumerates system buses properly)
SIS651 VGA driver
DirectX
The board also lists an AGP 4x capable slot. So the ATI video card
could be plugged in there.
To use the ATI video card
Chipset driver (identifies the AGP bus - SISAGPX.SYS file ?)
ATI video card driver (may bundle .NET for the control panel and some version of DirectX)
DirectX
Since the ATI driver is complaining, it sounds like
there is a problem with the chipset driver.
When you look in the Device Manager, are there any
"unknown devices" or things with errors showing ?
If you look in Device Manager, in the "System" section,
there should be an AGP entry.
