My friend has an older computer (1995)- I think it's a 486 - running Win
98, 40Mb Ram. It has a problem with the display adapter. In the control
panel under Display Adapter are two entries. 'Super VGA' and 'Trident
9685/9680/9682/9385/9382/9385-1 PCI'. The Trident... has a yellow
exclamation mark on it. When I go to the Tridents properties the Drivers
check out fine-the resources tab says there is an input/output resource
conflict. Knowing not at all what I was doing I unchecked 'use automatic
settings' and hit 'change setting' Then I tried to select the memory
addresses and input/output range not marked with a red cross. When I
rebooted I got a ruined screen. Went into Safe mode and removed the
Trident... Display adapter. Rebooted. Windows found new hardware and tried
to reload the Trident... Almost got into windows - wallpaper displayed - but before the icons appeared I got a BSOD. After a few more Reboots Windows ran some self diagnostics and the Registry checker reinstalled an older version of itself. But I am back where I started. (With that yellow exclamation mark in the device manager). Can anybody give me step-by-step directions to fixing this problem. I have tried to find the Trident website with jumper settings for the card - a couple hours of web surfing with no success. My friend has no paperwork or installation disk for her display adapter.
> I have tried removing the Super VGA entry hoping that would free up the
necessary memory, but it doesn't and eventually the 'Super VGA' shows up
again in the Device Manager.
