i have'nt a clue i am using the drivers that came with it pretty old i guess now<BR><BR>Will the new nevidia detornater driver xp be compatable for W98SE also, and will i have to have my 98SE install disk to complete the install as my 98SE install disk has gone west(missing) so could i still complete the install of the new nvidia driver without it?

I am pretty new to computing so have not got a clue how to get the name of my vidio card drivers in my folders, would appreciate some advice how to, pretty easy thing for most but we all started at the begining that is why i am here to learn and better myself through people like yerself, who are good enough and decent enough to help eachother out, the day will come when maybe i can give some good advice on PCSTATS but don't hold your breadth lol.
