Drivers for Diamond Viper 550
I installed Win Me on my PC but I have an old
graphic card: Diamond Viper 550 for Windows 98 which utilizes nVidia's RIVA 128 TNT (nV4) controller. Please can somebody give me a URL with the correct drivers for my Diamond Viper card under Win Me? Thanks

I appreciate it. From the readme file of the VIPER V550 W9X v4.12.01.0368.exe driver it is not clear that this driver works with Win Me. Does anybody use this driver with Win Me?

Have you tried the driver? If it gives problems boot to Safe Mode and
uninstall it. If that fails, and it shouldn't, use system restore to roll your system back to before you installed the driver. Remember though to make a manual checkpoint before installing the driver. Remember that you are wanting to use a video card that well predates the release of Win Me in June 2006 so you aren't going to see Win Me mentioned in the inf file or documentation within the driver set. -- Mike Maltby EndUser wrote: The inf file says : INF file for NVIDIA Compatible Windows 95/Windows 98 Display and DirectX Drivers Copyright 1998-1999 NVIDIA Corporation Version 2.0 Does not that mean that it is only for Win 95/98?

Alternatively you could try the Win9X Riva 128 driver from Nvidia: http://www.nvidia.com/object/riva_drivers.html Note that there are 2 versions, AGP or PCI so make sure you get the right one for your card.
