just tried all the banshee drivers i have here
windows gives a protection fault even after i uninstalled the old drivers and made it vga

do u know where the last official ones are????

The Diamond Monster Fusion card is a Banshee card. In fact, I build the Evolution Drivers using a Monster Fusion Z100 AGP card. (then, the Evo drivers are PERFECT for in your card).
Your problem sounds like something more complex....
Mmmmh... maybe the best way to fix all is start in safe mode (vga) and then open the c:\windows folder, and erase all the 3dfx banshee files from the system folder, and all the 3dfx inf and pnf (compiled inf files) files form the inf folder... ( a safe mode to do this is open  a window with the content of a driver and then, make comparison of filenames). Reboot (if ok, windows will start in vga mode again)... and then install the Evolution drivers again...

Did all that-still get windows protection error when i reboot with the 3dfx drivers

Formatted my hs with windows on it-still same thing

Gonna keep trying-something's gotta give sooner or later!!!

yeppers!!
then i got windows protection error

btw mobo is m760v woth onboard video-that might be doing it-reading up on it:-)

Thks guys-i'm learning alot!!!

Hmmm..

From the FAQ's for the M760V :

Q.  How do I disable the integrated video?
The audio is disable via jumpers on the motherboard.  Consult your motherboard manual for jumper number and position.  Video is disabled in the system BIOS.

Technically, if you have the Banshee connected to your Monitor Cable (and obsiously you see something), it should be active and running.
Since Win98 does have Dual-Display support, however, it might still attempt to yield the (possibly still not installed) Onboard Video the "primary Display Adapter" status, leading to erroneous behaviour.

Since you did a new Install, here's a few things people often forget after that :

- Install Chipset/Motherboard Drivers before anything else
(basic Drivers come with the Motherboard CD, but newer ones from the Internet are recommended)

- check for resource Conflicts in the Device Manager

- install Drivers or boot in Windows Safe Mode (press F8 before Booting Windows, or type " Win /D:M " from a command prompt to launch in Safe mode)

- free unused Resources (Disable all unused components from Bios, e.g. COM1/2 Ports, LPT, Onboard Sound if not used, Midi Port, Onboard Video of course since you have the Banshee installed) to reduce the risk of resource conflicts.

In short, 'one of those PC-Chips' Motherboards...
If you ever plan to buy a new Motherboard, just make sure it isn't a PC-Chips one, since they've been known for years to be very cheap, but extensively troublesome Motherboards to operate

I didn't even find any Video Driver for the M760-Board in their VGA Driver Download Section, so I reckon it is the generic SiS Video Driver they've got listed there (yet lacking for what Board it shoud be used in the first place   )

Unfortunately, I can't download the Manual from their Taiwan Server right now, so I can't confirm the mentioned Disabling of Onboard Video...
