Hi All,
Recently from the net I downloaded NVIDIA Windows 95/98/ME Display Drivers to a file on my D drive. In it was Win9x_21.81 which is an .exe. So now I clicked on that and preceded to load my drivers. Wow, what a mess. It took a whole day to get my PC working again. Ok so maybe I did something wrong. I didn't use a download accelerator, and I turned off Norton. Let's see, I even closed all programs running in the background. I loaded the drivers again. More of the same problems. Couldn't get into windows without going to safe mode. Only could get 16 colors and every time I did get to windows it wanted me to reload Video.
Ok so what did I do wrong. Another half a day to get back running right again. So being Pa DUTCH and hardheaded I tried again. Same thing. Fixed the problem again and had to install old drivers. So I go to the folder where the new drivers are. I know from loading this Nvidia Riva Tnt so many times before that there are only about 5 or 6 DLL'S, DRV'S and whatever from the install disk. The file I loaded from the net has 85 things in it. 19 of them are help topics but the rest have to do with DLL's and whatnot.
No the strange thing is when I click on the exe to load the new drivers I can see a whole bunch of stuff being loaded. It must be pumping everything from the file into my PC. It seems that this file is for a number of sets of drivers and just can't seem to figure out which one to load so it does them all. Question is, how do I make it load the right ones? Oh, I have tried every way to load these drivers. Add new hardware, Start run. Device Manager Display update drivers and the one at startup , windows has found new hardware. HELP!!!
