Problem installing graphics card in Win98se
Hi everyone! I recently bought a new graphics card for my main PC, and decided to put my old card in my backup PC. My backup PC is running a dual boot of Win2000pro & Win98se. The type of card i'm installing is a BFG GeForce MX4000 128mb. The card installed without a problem in Win2000. Of course, when it came time to install in Win98se, the problems started. It came up saying "found new hardware" and installed a driver of its own. When it came time to restart, it would just reboot once the Win98 splash screen came up. I restarted in safe mode, and removed the driver that windows installed automatically, and ran the setup program that came with the card. I restarted, and thought everything should be okay. Wrong! Upon restart, windows again came up with "found new hardware", installed it's own driver (on top of the proper one I installed with the card's setup program), and restarted. Sure enough, the pc reboots right after the Win 98 splash screen comes up. I can still boot to safe mode, though. Does anyone have any ideas? Windows 98 is a pain...
