Nvidia GeForce2 Go driver for Win98

[tomwms]

I need a Nvidia GeForce2 Go driver that will work with Win 98.

My Dell laptop came with XP, but I need to run Win 98 for some applications to work properly. Dell tells me I'm out of luck. Any ideas???

Thanks

Exactly which dell? And have you looked at the nvidia website? <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=drivers" target="_blank">Nvidia Gforce Go drivers</a>

I have a Dell Inspiron 8100.

Nvidia's website does not support any of its laptop products--they refer you to your manufacturer. Dell indicated that there was nothing they could offer me to help.

Well as I see it you have two choices, stop using 98 or back up your registry and try the reference drivers any way. Nvidia do not offer support... doesn't mean it definitely won't work <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

this is very true, Dell stopped support for 98 last yeari beleive, pushing towards windows 2k and XP. Nvidia ref. drivers should work no problems..

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by Nvidia "reference drivers?"

[NooNoo]

Nvidia only make the chipsets to run the graphics. These need drivers. The chipsets can be put on cards with other chips - for instance capture cards. So Nvidia create a "standard" driver, from there the companies that buy nvidia chipsets create their drivers to run the whole thing.

The reference drivers are the standard drivers and in most cases work. The link I first put up is to the standard nvidia drivers. Download the 98 version and load them on your machine, see if they work. The worst case is that they will upset your registry hence my suggestion that you back it up.
