Thanks for the suggestions. No matter what I tried, I kept running into
a brick wall. Couldn't delete the controller completely. Backup
registry no help. Finally bit the bullet and tried a re-install of
Win98 without reformatting. Surprise!! It worked. The only thing lost
in the install were the Video drivers and everything else was left
intact. I hate to praise the devil, but Win 98 has been very stable for
me. BTW, before I did the reinstall, I was able to gain access to the 2
CD's by installing the ASUS CD drivers. They were able to read and
install, however no CD burning programs could find them.
