Sorry I forgot to mention that .  I'm running Win 98 at a resolution
800x600.  The inf. files are installed.  The thought also crossed my mind to
start in DOS mode and istall the DOS drivers for the vidieo card,not sure if
that would limit the vidio card to a set rate or just give me problems with
Win.
