I have a nice new, shiny GeForce 2 GTS card from Creative and a equally
new PCTV Pro card from Pinnacle Systems. I installed both cards then did
a complete clean install of Win 98 (SE). I installed the drivers that
came with the cards I found my system became very unstable, with some of
the 3D effects going mad and the TV app crashing (the mouse cursor still
moves but you can't click on anything...). It would also hang if left
alone for too long (overnight). I upgraded the drivers for both cards
and my motherboard and tried again. The first problem with the 3D was
fixed, but a new problem arose, which caused the system to hang like the
TV app did and that app is still being silly.

Anyone any ideas? Please?

Robert Owen.
