Reading the symptoms you are experiencing, given the variables mentioned in the first paragraph, I thought your Stealth II immediately. It's coincident that in the final paragraph, you have arrived at the same conclusion. Henry when you say Stealth II, are you referring to the S220 (V2100) based version? If so, then it's almost certainly your Stealth II BIOS and or driver conflicting with Win98. >So....is anyone having these problems? Mine ran like a charm with Win95, but was a nightmare with Win9x, demonstrating all sorts of problems such as random lockup, abysmally slow 2D performance, blackened out icons if the screen res or depth was changed or with the execution of certain applications. I haven't solved the problem incidentally, just bypassed it by purchasing a V330. I'll either sell off the S220 or use it in number 2 if Diamond ever get around to releasing drivers which address the issues sucessfully.
