Because it's no longer where it was perhaps? (even if you remove it and put
it back in the same socket, Windows will go through that proc to verify it's
there and has/is using, the correct drivers)

If i dont change anything, and I use the same working win98 directly, etc

etc
etc

why if I unplug a card, or change its socket, or something, why does win98
start-up, but before any desktop, searches and tries to re-inst.

everything
again.

Most of the stupid time, asking for the CD, or "Details" showing it need

to
goto my /inf directory, (i think its hidden, cause its not there at that

point)
OR locate the .CAB file it neeeds

Not just that once.... even after the reboot of each re-instalment. WHY?

its been over 1 month now, and at least 45 complete re-instalations with

NO
CHANGES in hardware, but maybe only I moved a card up/down a socket.

its frustrating
