I loaded W98 on a micron dr 737 mobo, the graphics are grainy. I have on board graphics. I have one chip that says NVidia 128ZX, and another that says Intel PCI set copyright '96. I guess W98 doesnt' contain the driver for this on board video.
I think I need a driver, an accelerator? Help me out here

    nVIDIA is the one. Their unified driver should work. :thumbsup:

    This one should work, too:

    Found a driver which should work. It's a much smaller download than the 40MB unified driver, which will contain gobs of stuff you don't need anyway.

    See my first post (above)

    No that didn't seem to do it, I downloaded it to 3.5 then went into control panel then settings then advanced then adaptors then change then it didn't work it said it would keep the pci graphics drivers already installed, there is not a pci graphics card

    If you go into the device manager, what kind of graphics card does it say you have?

    Is there a way to pull it off of an ME disk or save just the drivers off the disk to a floppy? just wandering?

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/riva_drivers

    Download both the "RIVA128 Driver for Windows 9x AGP" and the RIVA128 Driver for Windows 9x PCI"

    Try those.

    I think I alredy tried those but I'll try again. Is it better to save them to 3.5 or your desktop(I'm assuming 3.5). I check back in a couple of hours, because I rode the short bus to school.

    Even though the graphics are built onto the MB, it still goes through the PCI Bus. As far as windows is concerned it is a PCI Graphics Card.

    Using the drivers we have pointed you to, try and update the driver for the existing PCI Graphics Card. If Windows warns you that the driver "is not compatible, blah blah blah..." just tell it to go screw (Continue Anyway).

    Easy as pie. :thumbsup:
