hey there I am having problems INSTALLING both my sound and video card it seems that i can have one WITHOUT the other but when i put them both in it practicly disables my video card, and when i go to change the settings manually it wont let me. I have a hp pavillion 6553 computer running windows 98 and an intel celeron-A, 466MHz (7 x67) with phoenix bios the video card is an S3 ViRGE/DX/GX(86c375/86c385) and the sond card is a creative ensonique with a sony monitor. any help would be greatly appreciated.


P.S. I only have one configuration and it is basic configuration 0000

thanx,
peteWhat type of video card, AGP or PCI? Have you installed only the video card and gotten a good display? Does your motherboard also have onboard/integrated video? When you bought the computer, was it using onboard video or a card? Have you used this combination of sound card and video card in the past in this computer? If so, what has changed?Are these both HP original ITEMS? Are the drivers being used from the HP web site or elsewhere? Specifics on this issue ould solve the problem. What WIndows 98 material do you have - real Win98 disc, or a restore CD or what?they are both pci cards. Yes it does have integrated video but it is disabled in the hardware profiles. i installed the video card only for the time being and it gives me a good display but when i install the sond card it automaticly shows a conflict in the input/output range with motherboard recources and the extension for pnp bios. No the are not original to the computer they are both aftermarket. the disc i have is the win 98 second edition full install disc not just the upgrade disk. The drivers are from windows and microsoft update. If you need any more let me know.


thanxs,
peter

Windows update is the WOST place to get drivers. If you can IDENTIFY the hardware, since they are aftermarket, then you can get the drivers.

Everst Home can help with the first part of that.
