Video Drivers: w/95 or NT3.51 drivers on a 98SE system ?
I have a video card that I can only find drivers for 95, and
NT3.51/NT4. I guess they never figured out the PnP thing. Is there any chance one of these drivers wil work on a 98SE system ? Thanks -- Al Dykes ----------- adykes at p a n i x . c o m |

I could enter garbage, but then I'd format my C drive and reinstall my system just to make sure they didn't leave me any gifts. (I had AV running, and was behind a firewall.

If you care about spyware, you should be running a cleanser such as Ad-Aware et al regularly. AV programs are irrelevant for this kind of thing ... they don't touch them nor are they designed to. Likewise, firewalls don't stop them. Reformat/re-install to remove everyday spyware is way over the top. |

Is there any chance 95 or nt3.51 drivers will work on a 98SE system ? Do a backup or make an image file of the system and then do a little experimenting to see if the Win95 or WinNT 3.51 drivers will work. Generally, if Win98SE (or any current OS does not provide drivers for peripheral devices already manufactured at the time of its release, then the updated drivers probably do not exist. |
