It is not likely that the virus affected your video card. Your best best is to shut down your pc and remove the video card to get the *exact* make and model of it for obtaining the correct driver. I found www.driverguide.com to be quite useful for Win98 drivers.

I asked poorman - he builds computers for fun.

He says you need to find the disk that installs programs to your motherboard and chipsets.


Without that your computer will not recognize the video drivers for your card so it defaults to the minimum.

Hopefully this works.

We're on night shift so we won't be online until late this P.M.

I'll check back then.

I have seen this. I build computers for fun also :)

If your video card is an AGP card, go in your bios and check two things.. Make sure it is set to init the AGP slot rather than PCI and also make sure that it is set to assign an IRQ to the AGP slot. If you (carefully) fish around in your bios, you should find those settings, wording may vary. If its a PCI card, I believe it still needs to have the IRQ assigned to it.

I could tell you more if I knew what motherboard and vid card you have.

If you don't know how to get into your Bios, I suggest you may want to find someone to work on it for you. You can really hose your machine by fooling around in there if you're not careful.

All the earlier answers are correct, but if you have a "Name Brand" computer (Compaq, IBM, HP, etc) and if you can get on line, go to the manufacturer web site and then go to SUPPORT enter your model number in their search engine - look for downloads or drivers - the FAQ section is usually good, and they also have fairly quick response to email questions.

But use their search function when you get to the manufacturer web site.
Video drivers can be ---errr--- interesting to install at times. some you can load directly from your HD, others you will have to save to floppy disks then load to the computer. The instructions for all the drivers should be on the site.

Hey TC. Remember the site I directed you to a few days ago?

Go to the site and download the utility and run it. It will give you all the system info you need including motherboard type and all that.
