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.





I can see requiring no NEW drivers created for out-of-support MS-OS,but to rescind drivers already created,sold with product,and archived seems predatory.

MS wants to FORCE people to upgrade.


Not only that, but their licences *require* that the hardware support the M$ DRM "rules", so that their "newest and bestes" Gooie works THEIR way.


Imagine that... logic.


BTW, all kinds of personal and computer configuration info gets snagged;


You act as if this is new, or as if it relates to operating systems. It
does not.
** Absolutely NONE of the M$ gooies snagged that info, up to and including Win2K.
WinXP *demands* on line BS if you want to use it for more than 30 days after installation.
...and you say this NOT related to OSes?
And oats processed by a horse (available at the back end) are just the same as those that go into the front end?



any HW changes and you are up a tree..



Total bull***. I have changed the video card, as well as SEVERAL
different, added, replaced, new hard drives, and have changed the optical
drives three times.

Vista works for those of us that are computer friendly (as in not
believing the bull*** of dopes like you). Your karma is so fucked, it
wouldn't work for you even if you did know what you were doing.
Not according to what i have heard.
