Just install the newer drivers then.

To stop that, you could just delete the INF file for the driver.

just a hunch but check to see if the driver software is listed in add|remove programs!

Do a search for the driver that the OS is trying to load by default and delete it. In 2000, you look in the INF folder in the WINNT directory and delete the inf and pnf files, but it has been too long since I've been in 98.

Hope this helps.

Try reinstalling the card. When it autoloads the bad driver, write the name down. Search for that file. It will be an inf file. When you find it look in that directory. The should be another file in the directory with the same name and a pnf extension. Delete both of them.

You can then install your card with the driver you want.
