Well, having two ACPI busses reported is definitely a problem. You might
have a problem due to the BIOS update you say is recent. You might also try
"Update ESCD" setting in the BIOS. It's usually in the PCI Setup section.
This will force BIOS to re-enumerate hardware. You enable it, save and
restart.

Aside from that, at this point I'd be looking in Device Manager in Safe Mode
(must be in Safe Mode) to see what your hardware profile looks like. Don't
remove anything just yet. Just review it and note down any devices that are
reported but which you know are no longer present, and report any devices
for which there is more than one entry. We want to know how many of what
items are duplicated.

It's important not to remove the video adapter in Safe Mode. Just review and
report for now. Only other thing I can suggest at this point is to boot to
Normal Mode, then change the video adapter to "Standard VGA", restart, and
then try reinstalling the proper drivers.

Yes, I enabled it. But now everything goes the same: Win98 says that I
don't have a RADEON 7000, and the setup of the RADEON drivers says I
don't have it, too.
Here are the other settings in the same menu in BIOS:
VGA Boot from AGP
PCI VGA Palette Snoop Disabled
PCI Slot1 IRQ Priority Auto
PCI Slot2 IRQ Priority Auto
PCI Slot3 IRQ Priority Auto

Also one of the hardware in Win98 not yet installed well is some
Advanced Configuration And Power Interface. It says it could not load
the driver for it because the computer is reporting two ACPI.SYS bus
types. It says I need to update my BIOS?!?(I have a very recent version
of my BIOS). Cuold be this the main problem of all?
