Win98 Drivers Missing

[Han_Solo_7777]

Could someone please help? I have a Mach 64 (ATI Graphics Pro Turbo PCI card). The ATI website says to use the drivers from the Win98 CD. Yet, I can't find ANY ATI drivers on the CDROM.
Could someone just e-mail these to me (lfrench@safeaccess.com)? Or tell me how to get them?
This would help solve a big headache.

Many Thanks!
Larry

Hi Larry,

First question I would have to ask is, Have you actually installed the card yet?

If you have, did you get an error message? What did it say?

What I am really thinking is, you misread the instructions at ati.com, it said the drivers you require come with your OS, not your OS disk, so that basically means plug and play, just plug in your card, go through the initial setup, you should have no problems what so ever.

I hope that helps

Yes, I've installed the card. I have no documentation or drivers with the disk (it is used). When putting the card in it asks for several files (ataxxx.vxd, etc.) I cannot find the files it asks for on the Win98 installation disk. That is why I'm asking for the files.
The computer seems to know what files it needs for the card, we just can't find them.

Thanks,
Larry

Looks like the computer wants three files that I don't have:
atim64.dll, atim64.drv and ati.vxd

Can anyone send me these files? lfrench@safeaccess.com

Thanks,
Larry

It appears that it wants generic drivers included with the OS. Try add new hardware and when it asks for the disk, have your Win 98 CD in the drive , point it to look there for drivers.

If that doesn't work go here.
http://www.driverguide.com/
members name and password is drivers, all.
The same username and password is assigned for everyone,so I don't think it's wrong to post it.
Do a search for your card,I found your card ATI mach 64 and the manufacturer was Acer,the drivers should work,but check it out.

When it asks for the files - you need to browse or type in the exact path to the CD, which will be:

X:\WIN98

where X is your CD drive letter.

Did you try the MS update site ???

When there's updates for my desktop vid card I can get then from there.

Maybe MS update will detect it and you can down load them there

Okay, I was able to get some device drivers off driverguide.com, BUT there is a problem I saw earlier that came up again. Can anyone help?

Now the CD-ROM isn't working! It isn't recognized. I saw this before until I deleted the graphics driver. Now that I have the correct Mach64 graphics driver, the CD-ROM isn't recogned. Windows isn't recognizing the CDROM at all. I also have a driver problem with IDE/ESDI controllers.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Enter the OS in safemode,go to device manager,look under cdroms and uninstall(remove) them all.
Go to video adapters and do the same,same under monitors,same applies to ide contollers,it's the problem with the ide controller that is causing the cdrom to go awol.
With these devices all removed and any mention of any other type of device under the headings I've listed,reboot the computer,Windows will find the devices and install the drivers,check to see what irq the video card is on.
