Yea, this really pisses me off about Voyetra. They put out really good
drivers for XP but thay have not released new drivers for Win98 to fix this
problem. Last drivers for Win98 were released early 2001. I guess they think
no one uses Win98 anymore, which is myopic.
I have a SC and have Win98 and XP installed. I do most/all of my gaming
under Win98 though so just turn off hardware acceleration when I play one of
the games that BSOD's with it on. Luckily enough there are not too many
games that do this but the only way I remember which ones do is after the
BSOD.
