You can't use the drivers from www.nvidia.com ?



Going to the Nvidia/GeForce site, the drivers they had did not
support Win98SE - the "best" was Win2K, and that is why i asked.



I think Microsoft is requiring companies to not provide drivers for "non-
supported" MS op systems. I have a printer that HAD a driver supplied for
W98SE,but MS got Lexmark to pull the driver off it's CD as of Jun 07.
the Printer's paperwork still mentions the W98SE driver.
No archive site has it anymore,either.

That means some enterprising person could have a site that
specifically maintains "legacy" software.

I'd expect such a site to be "visited" by the company's, if not
M$', lawyers.



If we really had an effective DOJ it would be M$ that got the visit.

In all your years, you still haven't learned that life isn't
"fair"? I'd call you a weenie, but... ;-)

Isn't their a "7-year rule" on product maintainability? There sure is
for car parts.

I'm sure you can still buy all the bits you need. You have to
assemble them yourself, though.
