W98SE & ASUS ATI Radeon 9600XT problem

[Stringfelowhaulkie]

I have a probem after trying to install the drivers for my ASUS ATI Radeon
9600XT TVD into win 98SE.

The problem is when I boot I get the usual first screen. Starting Windows;
a couple of line from the autoexec.bat file and a C:\> prompt on a black
screen 'and thats how it stays' but I can see the harddrive still working
and load Windows. And when it finishes I still have a black screen with
starting windows and a couple of line from the autoexec.bat file and a C:\>
prompt. I can shotdown Windows by-going-by-memory window key|cursor up
one|enter|enter| and windows shotdown.

It seems like Windows isn't detecting/loading ANY display drivers. How can
I fix this? Is their a way of doing this without removing the graphics card
and plugging it back in or plugging the old card in?

Could deleting certain files from within the Windows
directories/sub-directories let Windows go-back to default display drivers?
Does anyone know what-all-the files I need to delete to do this?

This system Duel-Boots into XP Pro or 98SE and XP is doing fine with this
new card.

If you are replacing another graphics card, did you uninstall the old
graphics driver before doing the swap? That will force Windows to load
the default VGA driver.

I've got the 9600 PRO, excellent card for the money.

Yes, I uninstalled.

You tried booting in safe mode, right?

Yes. I get the same thing!

Try another video card.
