Hi.

I have been trying to install a SB PCI 128 (CT4700) in an older socket 7 mb, a QDI Titanium 1B (Intel TX chipset), last bios v. 1.3s. I have tried two different CT4700s. Windows 98 will not identify either card properly and keeps generating a message that the drivers (from the CD and from Creative's web site) are not written specifically for the card. Forcing the drivers causes the system to lock up in the process of installation and upon reboot -- safe mode is required to remove them. All other adapter cards, except the video card (nVida GF2 MX-400 64Mb PCI), have been pulled. All PCI slots, except #1 which holds the video card, have been tried. The board has PCI 2.1 compatibility enabled in CMOS. A clean sweep and fresh install of the drivers has been attempted, following instructions from Creative's tech support site. Nothing works.

Any ideas?
