Can you boot the card into Safe Mode? There you can delete the entry for the video card from Device Manager. You may then be able to run the setup for the ATI Mach 64 driver. Some drivers' installers refuse to run in safe mode. Running 98 or 98SE? 98SE can use WDM (Windows Driver Model) drivers, which is Microsoft's idea for making drivers that _should_ work in 98SE/2000/XP. Quite often they don't. It can often be a real PITA to get 98SE to accept a non-WDM driver for a device after the WDM one has been installed. (Fortunately on the box I just built it was easy to replace the WDM modem driver that caused a BSOD with the VXD version "for win 9x".) You may have to resort to moving any files out of the c:\windows\inf (and the "other" folder there too) that are for ATI to make it let you install the Mach 64 driver. ===== "Work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger.
