Startup problem with reinstalled NVIDIA RIVA 1287ZX driver
This is my teenage daughter's existing machine with W98SE
and original video card and NVIDIA RIVA 128 driver where all worked fine. KDS CRT display died and I replaced with Sceptre V5G-Komodo-7 flat screen. Machine then went to default VGA with unchangeable 640x480x16. Found correct driver on my existing W98SE onboard files and loaded it-- Video-78 NVIDIA RIVA 128ZX ver 3.37. This cleared up the resolution problem as expected and display works fine. Removed some spyware and threw away an unidentified blank folder on the desktop. Also updated NSW/NAV 2003 Pro. Now machine (1) bypasses second BIOS startup screen (blank screen displayed), (2) will hang up on attempt to go to BIOS setup mode with DEL key, (3) will not respond to existing W98SE startup disk, and (4) gives blank screen/will not respond to F8 or Ctrl to go to Windows Options mode (cannot get into SAFE mode or any of the other options menu modes)/and goes directly to bkgrnd with icons with no display of "W98SE" startup screen--once it's there the applications seem to work fine. Can't find any way to get it out of this mode. Any help would be appreciated. |
