Veriton 3200 video lock up

I am trying to upgrade an acer veriton 3200 to w2k. The problem seems to be in the on motherboard i815 video adapter. The system seems to need a driver, which I downloaded from the acer site, but the system locks up before I can install the driver. It also locks up trying to enter safe mode. In w98 I can get it to come up in safe mode but the driver will not install in 98 it requires w2k.
I even tried installing another video card but the system locked up the same as without it. Apparently the system looks for this driver before looking for another card.
Recomendations please on how to get around this?

Did you just upgrade this to 2k?

Hi Ferrit,
Yes it was a given machine so the first thing we did was attempt an upgrade to 2000. However the same driver search will lock up w98 although it can be brought up in safe mode. W2k locks up going into safe mode also.
