nv4_disp.dll driver stuck in infinite loop.

[caravel]

Absolutely no luck whatsoever with Win98SE. The second reboot and a file was missing "vnetbios.vxd" trying to do anything else caused more errors of missing files. I was installing on an old HDD purely for testing and so as not to have to mess with my main Ubuntu/XP dual boot setup. I finally managed to install the driver but after that it crashed every time I tried to go to display properties and wouldn't let me use and resolution apart from 640*480 16 colour.

I'm also having major problems with my internet connection which isn't helping matters one bit, this is one of the rare occasions I've been able to get online all weekend. I will probably have to call it a day as far as this approach is concerned. I doubt I'll be able to play MTW/RTW for quite some time to come.

Well who knows maybe it's for the best and will give me a chance to concentrate on other things.

-Edit: I've sort of worked out why some games work, of course it's because they're OpenGL! Doom3 and Quake4 worked and indeed Linux works with Fast Writes turned on (???). Anything Direct3D crashes after a few seconds or doesn't start at all. This proves that it's mainly the Direct3D components of the Nvidia driver that cause this.
