As RJ stated, you will need to download and install the drivers. When you install new hardware, or in this case, a reinstall of Win98se, you will loose everything on that partition. If you do in fact have the drivers installed, you will need to go to the Mfg. website of your video card and monitor and get an updated driver.

If you know the make/model of your graphics card (or onboard video), you can post it here & we might be able to get a link to the drivers for you.

If you need help identifying the card, we might be able to help you with that, too.
