TW>> If yuor Video Card has 128 meg on it and you cannot run better then
TW>> 640 X 480 you have the WRONG driver installed either for the Monitor or
TW>> the Video Card. I suspect the Video Card Driver.
 
GL>  I suspect, too, I will have to install the video drivers from the
GL>  video card CD-ROM on my Win 98SE system.

AZ> One of the issues running Win98 (or 98SE) is that it doesn't include

AZ> Hopefully, the video card manufacturer has Win98 drivers-- either on a

    Thanks.  Did you move to Win 98SE or Win XP?

    I was able to establish the video driver on my Win 98SE system
    from the video card CD-ROM.  The video driver has a date of
    December, 2003.   A newer video card driver s/w on the web site 
    has a date of July, 2004.

    However, the video card has been discontinued so no additional
    video drivers will be written.  It looks like my motherboard
    will be good only for Win 98SE; ME; or Win XP OSs.
