Radeon 9700 Pro & 3.0 Drivers

[Darkest]

Hey all, I'm having a bit of a problem and I was hoping someone could help me out. I am running a HIS Excalibur 9700Pro and when I try to run the 3.0 drivers in 98SE I crash to blue screen everytime I try to access the settings. I have tried deleting the old drivers before install, updating the chipset drivers, even going so far as to leave all settings the same and going in and manually installing the 3.0 drivers. When I do the last it works in a funny funky kinda way, I can get into settings and run direct x 9.0 stuff, just when I hit certain tabs in settings I crash to blue screen. My current system consist of...

Soyo KT400 Ultra (No laughing
Aforementioned 9700 pro
AMD 2200@11.5*167fsb 1/5 divider on board (Yep, I've tried it without over clocking)
No name PC3200@ 2-2-6-2

I could really use the help, Thanks all,
Jon

I've read that people have problems with the 3.0 drivers. Perhaps using 2.5's until 3.0's have the bugs ironed out is a good idea.

Welcome to AOA's Forums, Darkest!
(Where were my manner's?)

Any progress with the driver problems?

Thank you very much, I'm happy to be here. I've been reading for a while and found the people here to be great
No luck yet with the driver, I'm going to trash my current 98 install and start from scratch and see if that helps. I spent the better part of last night fighting with the bloody thing with no luck at'all. I'm hoping it isn't the card. :P

A reinstall of the OS sounds like a good move. Personally, I wipe the partition (re-format) between OS installations. If an OS gets really weird before I decide to, or am forced to do a fresh installation I like to fdisk the drive before re-formatting it. But that's just me.
