After about a year of no problems
it`s really screwing up my games.

They either lock up or don`t even start.
Tried new sound drivers but turned out
was using the newest one.

OS Win98 SE
DirectX 9.0c
Hardware...
Biostar U8668 MB
Intel Celeron 2.0 clocked to 2.3ghz
<turning it back down didn`t help either>
Geforce 6200 vid card using Forceware 81.98 drivers
Via Rhine II ethernet <built in mb>
512 mb DDR
Maxtor 40 gig IDE HD

Creative Misc Device keeps showing up
in Device manager but Winblows can`t install
drivers.

Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and
sound card numerous times now.

Can it be fixed or time to reinstall Winblows?

thanks in advance,
Bob
