You will need to post the make/model of your computer or graphics card.

    Theres a Tendency on forums like this that people don't like short hand or "txt spk" as there is no need for it. its not a rapidly moving chat room and nor is it a an awkward phone , and my Spelling sucks and i had some Criticism so now i have the Blessing of the IE7 Spell Checker on every post

    I'm new to this and I'm pretty much computer stupid. I'm having the same problem. I can't figure out how to load my video driver. Its a 3dfx voodoo3. I downloaded the driver from gateway but its not installing. Running windows98.  :'(

    Is it a Gateway card? Drivers are hard to find. If it is not, you may want to check www.driverguide.com Registration is free.

    You may want to run Everest Home to get the EXACT model of the card for driver hunting.

    How to load depends on what the files are in the downloaded .zip file. Unzip them and let us know. You need to uninstall the urrent drivers first and reboot the machine before installing.
