Creative Labs RivaTNT makes my system freeze up!

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!

The problem is with your motherboard. Get the latest drivers from the FIC site including the AGP mini-port drivers. Install all and you should be OK. regards andrew Britt A.

Make sure you have the latest GART AGP drivers and BIOS version for the motherboard and the video card. AGP video cards - and TNTs in particular - tend to be rather picky on Super 7 motherboards. -- Robert Hancock Saskatoon, SK, Canada To email, remove "nospam" from hancockr@nospamhome.com Home Page: http://members.home.net/hancockr Britt A.

I looked at the fica.com web site, but couldn't find the drivers. I
don't suppose you know where FIC keeps them? =)
