Can Someone Help?

I have a nvidia Geforce 4 MX440 Video Card. I have windows 98. I don't have
the original setup CD rom that came with the video card. I have triple
boot, with WIN 2000 Pro and XP. I went to the Nvidia website to download
the most recent win98 drivers for the video card but the system locks up and
screen goes blank. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. So, maybe some one
has some suggestions.

Thanks,

what card did you replace when you put the mx in? you may have left over
driver in the sys. try to get rid of all video drivers and use the default
windows drivers get it booted up in all 3 os. then start out buy installing
the driver in 98 then check it to see if it works then move on to xp save
2000 for last.

To really get rid of leftover drivers first boot in safe mode
uninstall nvidia drivers for win98 , reboot and detect standard graphics
adapter.
after reboot make all files seen,search for nv*.* and delete those files
found.
go to registry and search for keyword nvidia,again delete those found.
go to device manager\graphics adapter and install new drivers.
the wizard will let you specify a location so point to the dir you got yer
nvidia drivers.
After reboot all should be well.Finally reinstall directx.

You could check in registry if maybe 2 graphics devices are listed
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\enum\pci
it's the first entry,check if the second entry lists the ssame specs.
You could delete the string , in doing so you delete your graphics adapter
and after reboot the process of redetecting a new video card starts all over
again.
Also check in c:\windows\Inf\other for nvidia .inf file,delete it or the
last driver you used is installed again after reboot.

now in registry search for keyword nvidia
