Title: PC lockup since directx7.0a with Creative 3d Blaster TNT / Win98
Post by: WooDog on July 04, 2000, 01:09:00 PM: Hello All,

since I updated my system to directx 7.0a - all hardware accelerated games freeze my computer :-(.

I have a Win98, Creative 3D Blaster TNT, directx 7.0a, newest NVDIA Driver (tried Creative driver also) on a Compaq Presario 5547.

Any hints for me??

Thank you in advance.

Yours,

Woo.

Just a note on the correct installation for these or any video driver, is to first install VGS or SVGA drivers, restart PC, then install the driver you want, and answer No to do you want to keep newer blah blah driver.
