At this point you are going to have to open the PC tower and look for the
exact model number of your video card. It should be printed on the video
card. Take precautions to prevent static electricity discharge which can
damage the components.

Or, you can look at the receipt for your PC to see if the model number of
the video card is listed on it.

I did exactly as the instructions stated. The problem I have is that
when
I push the settings tab in the display applet program the only button on
that page is an "Advance" button no "Change Display Type" button
available.
When I push the "Advance" button I get another applet that has 5 more
tabs:
General, Adapter, Monitor, Performance and Color Management. I click on
the
Adapter tab and the page shows that I have a Standard PCI Graphics Adapter
(VGA) and also has a "change" button. When I push the "change" button it
starts the " Update Device Driver Wizard". I follow through that and get
to
the page that shows me two choices, one that searches for a new driver and
one that will allow me to select the driver from a list. I choose the
select a driver from a list and I scroll to the manufacturer "S3" and in
the
models column it does not have my model, it has a list and in that list it
has the following models that are close to what you said I have: "S3
Trio32
PCI (732)", "S3 Trio 32/64 PCI (732/764)", "S3 Trio64UV+ (767)", "S3
Trio64V+ PCI (765)", "S3 Trio64V2-DX/GX (775/785)". The model you said I
have is a S3 Trio 3D video card. I'm at a stand still and I hope I
explained it a little better this time. I appreciate you sticking with me
through all this. Thanks again. Keith

The driver I posted for your S3 video card should work without any problems.
However, there is a later driver for your card which can be found he

The installation process is the same.

See if this gets you to the driver download at driverguide.com:
http://members.driverguide.com/drive...riverid=121018

If not start here, registration is free:
http://www.driverguide.com/

Once on the member's start page:
Under driver finders checklist click #3: Search the DriverGuide Database!

Do a basic search:
Select S in the filter box then in the same box select S3
Select Graphics and Video adapter as the device
Select 98 as the OS
Click Search database

The driver is on Page 4 about 3/4 way down:
365/366 e13z45us.exe Win 98SE

Thats for the reply Brian but I got the driver Joe gave to me installed
before I read your reply. Thanks Joe for all your patients and help. I
don't know why I didn't download the unzipped info onto a floppy in the
first place, but thats what did it. All is well on this home front. Except
for my next problem of no sound. Is there a news group that I can
correspond with on the sound card problem? Thanks again for everybodies
help. Keith

Glad to hear the video drivers are working. The sound card will be much
easier since you have a Creative Labs SB PCI128 (Ensoniq ES1371) Sound Card.

http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/welcome.asp

Click SoundBlaster, Others, PCI 128 and the Windows 98 Operating System.
Scroll down to drivers.

You were definitely right the sound card was much easier. Thanks again.
I only have one more problem that I know of and if you can help me with
this I promise to leave you alone for awhile.
I don't know to much about mother boards but I have a couple of USB ports
that are attached. When ever I try to attach something to them they don't
seem to recognize that anything is there. I tried to connect my Palm to one
and Hotsync it with my computer but it won't make the connection. I also
tried to hook-up a PC camera to them and it a;so says to check the
connection. I shutdown the computer and restarted it to see if the computer
would pick up new hardware and it doesn't. Are there drivers associated
with these USB ports also or is it a totally different deal. Again if I
should post this somewheres else please let me know and your help has been
greatly appreciated. Thanks. Keith

Do you have Windows 98 or 98SE? Windows 98 has USB support, but it's not as
extensive as 98SE. You'll probably find that in your camera and Palm
documentation, 98SE is required.

About 3 years ago, maybe longer, I purchased a Windows 98SE Update disk on
eBay just like this one for about $25 including shipping.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...1560 181&rd=1

(DISCLAIMER - it's not my auction and I am not endorsing this auction. The
link is posted strictly for informational purposes.)

They cost more now because there just aren't as many 98SE Update/Upgrade
disks around. If you decide to buy a 98SE Update or Upgrade disk, ask the
seller if a Product Key comes with the disk. If not, don't buy the disk.
You can see the large orange sticker on the folder where the middle disk is.
That's the product key.

You might want to check with a friend who has a 98SE CD but no longer uses
it, because he or she now uses Windows XP.

BTW - you're not bothering me or anyone else who offers help here. That is
what this newsgroup is for.

In windows 98&SE you have to install hardware drivers for each item to
connect to USB ports, the drivers may be on the software cd or at the
manufacturers web site, or the device may not support 98 at all. Install the
drivers while the device is not connected, reboot and then connect the
device, and the new hardware wizard should appear

I have 98SE installed on this computer. I had my Palm installed and
working on the other computer that I just transferred everything from. I
don't have the paperwork for the camera anymore, but I did have it installed
and working on a computer other than these two that I have mentioned and
that computer also had 98SE.
I used the installation disk for both items and installed evrything before
I rebooted and connected the devices to the USB ports, but no new hardware
wizard appeared. What should I do at this point? Thanks. Keith.
