I read awhile back it has something to do with directx. I 'm using directx 8.1 and the whql 12.41 for win9x and it says it's not certified, this happens with every driver that says they are whql. I installed directx 7.0a with the 7.78 whql which directx 8.1 said it wasn't certied, but directx 7.0a said it was, so i'm pretty sure these are certitied just like the 12.41, but directx 8.x just shows them as not certified.
