Default Win98 won't start

Just reinstalled Win98SE on a new harddrive. I get the opening screen and
then a dialog box for Found New Hardware - PCI VGA video - and then the
system locks.
Old system with a #9 771 pci graphics card. I was going to use the default
Microsoft VGA video driver, but somehow it won't load.
Any suggestions. Thanks in advance

What do you mean by 'won't load'? Exactly what happens if you try?

Boot to safe mode and remove all video adapter card drivers, then reboot and
try again to install the generic driver. If that fails, try a different
video card.
