Display Driver Problem
I recently reformated my computer, but when I installed the video drivers,
and restarted my computer, the computer hangs after the "Starting Windows 98" message. I just get stuck at a black screen with a flashing '_'. When I hit the reset switch, the computer boots to Windows, but says "There is a problem with your display adaptor", and it stays at 256 colour and 640X480 resolution. I'm using Windows 98SE, and it's a brand new install. My video card is a NVidia Riva TNT2 Model 64. I tried the newest and older drivers off of the NVidia website. Any suggestions? |

Well, I tried had tried that, and it hadn't worked. I managed to get it to
work on my own, however. I didn't install the motherboard drivers... Thanks anyways. "Jon_Hildrum" wrote: Uninstall the existing drivers. Use the windows default driver. After booting with the default drivers shut down any running applications and make sure your disconnected from the internet. Then install the latest video drivers according to the installation notes provided by the manufacturer of the video card. -- Jon Hildrum DTS MVP www.hildrum.com "Sorcerer Steven" Sorcerer wrote in message ...
