I need the drivers.
Any ideas?
Rage IIC drivers are native from win98 and up...
hum
win98 didn't install it correctly.
will try again.
it says it is installed correctly, just won't let me change to 16 million colors or anything above 640 x 480....
EDIT: would this have anything to do with me not finding drivers for the mobo ;) Diamond Flower Mobo, VP3-596B-DD
Is it listed in device manager correctly? I had a IIC but I don't remember windows automatically installing it...
Try Here
that's only for nt...
they have win 98 on this machine.
will the acer ati lt drivers work for win 95 98....

why not just get the powered by ati drivers from www.ati.com ?
I tried getting to ATI's website to get him the link to the driver(it seems to be down), me and Dan just had this same thing in the chatroom last night...
Or try booting to safe mode, change the video to pci vga adapter... boot to normal mode.
Change adapter - and rather than let windows search, show all hardware and select the rage IIc drivers manually.
Link to Ati Rage IIC drivers
Works for me :D
Gotta love those ATI video cards <g>
For starters, don't go to ATI's driver page; it is worthless.
Try http://www.rageunderground.com & see what's posted in their archives. This site is maintained by gamers, for gamers, and these guys are at the top of their respective food chains.
When you score a driver, use these two hacks to get around the 256-color/640x480 limitation:
1) Find the [display] section under your SYSTEM.INI and eliminate any entries that currently exist there. Don't panic if there is no [display] section . . . simply create one & be sure to place it before the [386Enh] section of the .INI file. After you have cleaned up the [display] section, place a single entry directly under the [display] section, as shown below:
[display]
devbmp=0
Save changes to your .INI file, but don't exit yet as there is still a bit of work to be done :)
2) Next, use Control Panel>System>Device Manager>Display adapters>ATI Rage IIC (or what-have you) and find what interrupt the card is using by highlighting the entry and choosing 'Properties'/'Resources'. Once you know what IRQ the ATI card is using, make this modification to the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI
***NOTE: It really DOES matter what order this stuff gets listed in at load time, so be sure to place the new entries at the beginning of the section. For purposes of demonstration, I've made the assumption that IRQ11 is the placeholder for the ATI card. This is probably dead wrong, so be sure that you substitute the correct IRQ when you make the entry to your .INI file.
[386Enh]
MinSPS=12
IRQ11=4096
DMABufferSize=64
MaxDMAPGAddress=1000
Save the changes, close your editor, & reboot the machine (better still . . . to save time and avoid having to wait for the machine to POST, just restart the computer in MS-DOS Mode and immediately enter the command EXIT at the DOS prompt)
Once you implement the fix, you might also want to check out this site:

It continues to amaze me that this guy hosts his site on a lame service like AOL, because there is a LOT of useful (and accurate) information here. Kudos to Axcel, whoever he is, for posting what has to be one of the more comprehensive tweak/tip/hack site on the planet.
Hope this solves your issue & also provides you with countless hours of reading <g>
Have a stress-free week!

To avoid hurting anyones feelings, on which method i used.
Let's just say it works.
Thanks all :)
Darn!
If I'd checked out the boards earlier I could have sent you the HIS drivers as I have them on CD for Win98. Used them again last week, as a matter of fact... :rolleyes:
