My system crashes after installing via 4in1 drivers (i've tried 4.28, 4.35, 4.43) runing 2D or 3D applications.
When starting any 3dmark2001 test it crashes. Without via 4in1 i can run 3dmark2001 without problems but the results are extremely low.

OS Win98
MB Biostar M7MKB (via KX133 chipset)
CPU Athlon 650 MHz (slot A)
MS-8851 GF3 Ti200 64Mb DDR
RAM 2x128 Mb Kingston PC133
ATX 300W

I mention that i didn't encountered anyproblems before installing the videocard, on my older RivaTNT2.
Any sugestions?

++++++(i've also posted this inother forums so...)

No irq conflict before or after installing 4in1. And the same happens under windows XP. I also tried 4in1 4.20 wich came with my mainboard. I also tried detonator 21.83 , 23.11 and 29.42 under Windows 98. No iam really out of ideeas. In bios the only options regarding AGP card are AGP memory (set to 64) and video bios shadow, so there's nothingto do there either. What can i try next?

I've installed clean win98, then detonator 29.42 then modem and directx 8.1 (also tried 81.b). Then i made a backup of this state on another disk, wich i am reverting to after each unsuccesful try. So there is no driver mix-up. And no, there is no conflict before or after 4in1 installation. Also the system hangs apparently randomly in 2d apps. (but everytime i start MSOutlook ??!) and always in 3Dmark2001 at the begining. So, it functions ok but slow without 4in1, and crashes afterwards with 5 different versions of it.... My guess is ther might be a problem with the mainboard AGP voltage in4x or something (the 3D card runs ok on kt133 chipset with via 4in1 4.43)

 
Thanx,
I'm trying that now but the only option in bios is AGP 4x Mode (on/off). Is there any program able to switch between modes while running ?
