Wow, thanks for that information Lady Rain. And thanks stone for the BIOS update. I've downloaded my bios update file (I'll try this tonight) - is there anything I should be vary of when updating a Bios?

My mother board is agp x8, so is the card. agp was enabled with same card before I changed to the new mother board. Now it's not.

I notice that when I update the drivers for the g card, win 98 then installs its own vga driver for the same card. Though win 98 may be using a file that came from a driver pack i had installed perviously though. I'm a bit fuzzy on the subject.


About the old drivers in WIN98 SE you can hide your win98 folder.
Go into Security mode and at the system settings check if don`t have more than one driver installed of your card, if have remove all them and not restart the pc.
Go here: C:/windows/inf/other
Inside of "other" folder you`ll find your driver card name, delete it and go at the system settings - and remove your card, do not ask to update(could work, but is more safe this way) - the win98 will ask to restart the system - you`ll follow it suggestion - when the reboot is complete the system is going to compile the drivers again and will ask for you to insert the correct disk driver of the card, since its not going to find the win98 folder and not the old driver - so you get your cd and select the location of the correct driver and install it correctly from your cd.

The inf folder is hidden you have to be able to see hidden folders and files.

About what Lady_rain said is absolutely correct, in some motherboards you have to install the agp motherboard driver - this maybe can solve your problem, and even for who don`t have any problems this can enhance the performance, since it will be properly installed and used(the drivers was made for it better control - using generic drivers(windows drivers) or none driver make it not work, or work with low performance.
