I have a K6III 400 with Windows 98 1st edition, on a DFIK6BV3+ MB with 128megs SDRAM, Diamond Viper V770 32meg Video card. I have loaded the patches and drivers on the MB CD in the exact manner the manual states. My computer will lock up clicking on anything on the desktop, sometimes with VxD errors, sometimes with illigal operation messages, and sometimes a fatal execption blue screen. When I reboot, everything runs fine. I can even turn off the computer after the initial daily start and it doesn't lock up, it runs beautifully.
After about the fifth day, my tray icons just to the right of the start button dissapeared and never came back.I have the latest Diamond driver by Diamond's Update Wizard. I have a feeling that something is conflicting with DFI's VIA AGP VxD driver I loaded from the MB CD. Think I should switch to another brand MB, or video card? I haven't received a reply a reply from DFI or Diamond. Does anyone have a clue to what my problem is?
