    I just installed my Creative Labs Graphics Blaster RivaTNT card and am
having some problems with it. Specifically, its causing WIndows 98 to freeze
up. Sometimes it'll do it after a minute, other times it likes to wait a
half-hour. Obviously, this is extremely frustrating. I downloaded new
drivers from CL's web site, but no dice. Prior to this, I had an ATI Xpert98
that gave me no problems. My system is:

    AMD K6-2 300mHz
    FIC VA-503+ Motherboard
    64Megs Memory
    Creative SBAWE64 PNP Sound Card

    If anyone knows what's causing this, *please* let me know!
