Ahh, hardware sucks! I''ll take programming any day! Anyway, I''ve been trying to update my sorry NVidia Riva TNT 1 driver to the detonator driver to resolve a conflict, but when I go to install the driver, I get the error message that Setup was unable to locate the PCI ID in NVAML.INF. So, discouraged, I went and installed version 28.32 of the drivers, and now I get this odd error when Windows starts up. Just after the Windows logo and just before Windows should load, I get this black screen with a flashing cursor in the corner. If I then restart my computer a few times, I can get it to boot back into Windows, but sometimes it just keeps freezing at the same place. The problem is the same as the one in this thread: Here, but unfortunately, no solution was ever presented in this thread either. Any ideas how I can fix this? BTW, I have a Win 98 system. Please help... Thanks, -Jesse

I would uninstall all driivers, go to device manager and uninstall the video card, then reboot. It will find the card and want to install it, tell it to install with the drivers you want to use.

I actually already tried that, but the old drivers now cause Windows to be stuck in 16 color mode, and the reinstalling the newer drivers just brings back the same old problem...

If it''s a PCI card, uninstall in from Device Manager and put it in another slot.
