Thanks for replies guys.. Yes, I did use the 4in1 via driver. Did another fresh install now, with no improvements. Dicked around a bit with the driver files, and the 4in1 install puts a file called VIAAGP1.SYS in /winnt/system32/drivers . If I remove the file, it boots just fine but with a device error on the AGP - CPU connection. With the file in place, the screen is garbled. Tried everything I can think of, including changing all bios-settings to a crawl, even updated the bios. But my system is cursed! well, so be it, I'll be running good 'ol Win98 now, and my next PC upgrade will have all Intel components from start to finish.. Thanks again!

Hi all, found this forum when trying to troubleshoot some prbs.. Experiencing some weird problems when trying to get my PC to run w2k. Just brought my pc back to life with some new hardware, and tried to install w2k on the new hard drive (w98se on the old). everything appears to work fine, but w2k won't recognize my Radeon7500 video card. Whenever I install drivers for it the screen just garbles up when the system start. I can hear the start-up song playing, so I think the system is ok, just broken graphics. Reboot in safe mode, uninstall vid-drivers, and try another set of drivers (done it about 10 times now), but no luck. ;( ;( did a new fresh install of w2k, but the same thing happened. Even got it do auto-reboot when loaded (no matter whether I go safe mode, it just loads up and just as it's about to give the login-screen, it just reboots).. I underclocked my cpu/ram, took out the other HD, updated everything from microsoft.com before installing vid-drivers etc.. but no success.. So I'm back to Win98.. My system is: AGP Radeon 7500 (not ATI branded, though) MSI KT3 Ultra MB AMD XP 1500 WD 80GB hd (FAT32) Power supply is 300w Any ideas on what's wrong? Wondering if I need to buy XP or another vid-card to get a stabile gaming OS up'n running on this box..
