Greetings. Picked up a used latitude C610. PIII, 1.2 ghz, 512meg ram. Installed Win 98 and although everest says there is a PCI-ATI radeon card, I cant get it to recognize and am stuck in 16 color, 640-480 mode. It does recognize a PCI modem, and it GPF's (MSGSRV32) on the driver installation. I'm wondering if this is keeping it from autorecognizing the ATI card. I deleted the modem and the standard VGA display from control panel and now on boot up, it recognizes the PCI card, (modem) and still GPF's on the driver installation. If I go to add new hardware, it doesn't recoznize any new hardware. I went into system setup upon boot and it does list the ATI card as the graphics accelerator. It it was a desktop, I'd now remove the ATI card and reinstall to see if it recognizes, but never perforrmed surgery on a notebook. Any and all tips would be welcomed... TMY23

Greetings from a newbie. On a Dell P3, 500 MHZ, 384MEG, backed up, wiped clean, reinstalled 98, everything ok except, USB ports don't work, thus printer and USB mouse don't work. Looking at control panel, have yellow question mark for: PCI Mass Storage Controller I had 3 USB settings, Generic USB Hub _which had a yellow mark in front, saying it wasn't working. USB Root Hub An Intel USB line, presumably related to my USB card. Being that I had the Intel line set up, I deleted the Generic USB hub. I don't know if the PCI mass storage controller is related to the USB problem. When I try to print I get and Epson error message saying the USB port is disconnected. I have reinstalled Chip drivers, i.e. intel drivers for the motherboard. With no success. Any and all advice would be welcomed...
