Default Looking for a graphics driver solution for my Radeon 3850

Thanks for your replies...

@MEB: @Bill;

Latest Radeon drivers for Win98/ME give support up to Radeon 9800; since my
HD 3850 belongs to next generation I cannot use them. Furthermore, there is
a driver named "Radeon Series" fails on installation. Lately (It was 0300 in
the night, btw) I have discovered "VMWare add-ons; a generic graphics dirver
gives support to higher resolutions and deeper colors.

Then I have face a greater problem; I could not installed DirectX ! I have
tried each and every version of DirectX; from 6.0 to 9.0c. I seems every
installation was ok; but whenever I tried to run games two different error
messages salutes me; "I can not find Directx 5" (a unique error log for
Commandos: BEL) and more common "Directx Initialization Error" for
Commandos: COD)

I did not try any other games to test, though... Just uninstalled everyhing
the emulator, the OS, the games, everthing (*).

@Jeff;

I did not know that; I will give it a try, thank you.


(*) My wife hates my computer more than I love it... God, dude, if you are
have not so; do no install tha unique, so-called-tailor-made wife 1.0 OS in
your Home Computer. Girlfirend 7.0 is more common but promises much more
flexibilities!

I have just installed W98se in VMWare just for playing original Commandos
series.

But I couldn't find a way to increase graphics quality since there is no
98 drivers for my graphics card; Ati Radeon 3850. I'm stuck with "Standart
PCI Graphics Adaptor" with 640*480 res. & 16 (yes, sixteen) colors.

Do you know any way? I am not aiming for performance; I just want to play
old games.
