One important thing I left out was - on the pdf file on the install CD, it
said at the top "Radeon 9800" so maybe the CD is for the wrong drivers
since
I have a 9000 Pro, but I thought maybe it used the same drivers. Also, I
downloaded new drivers (Catalyst) from ATI site, but they don't seem to
work
either. I can't figure out what is wrong.

Mary what happened when you tried to install from the CD? Did it get half
way then lock on you or what? If it failed during setup that's the reason
you can't install the ones you DL'ed. Windows gets confused when an install
fails. You don't have to worry about the fact that the file says 9800, what
you need to be sure of is that you are installing the drivers for '98 and
not XP or 2000. Are you sure you got the right ones from ATI? If you do have
the right ones, and it did fail during setup, try this.
Go to add/remove in control panel and look for ATI un-install the drivers.
What you need to remove is the setup inf file that was installed during the
CD install. I'm not sure what it's called (I'm sure someone else knows in
this group) But first, before worrying about the inf file, reboot. Now your
system should load up the default Windows VGA driver.
Now try and install the drivers you got from ATI (now that you're sure that
they are for '98) You should be fine now. If not you're going to have to
find that inf file.
Hope this works for you, JLC
