After installing a usb nisis g3 graphics pad and mouse, my windows 98 se installation was trashed.
When the mouse part of the programme was installed.
(The Mb is a ms - 5169 ami bios, aladdin chip set so I did not expect any of the VIA USB problems).
The sound driver needed reinstalling, video driver,the system would only work in safe mode.
I downloaded the removal programmes from nisis, the latest drivers, followed the fixes they suggested.
I reinstalled w98 from windows and eventually everything worked again including the graphics pad (without mouse.
However the HDDs now uses real mode drivers, the CD drives are only available after using MCSDEX set up in the the autoexec.bat.
Neither are visible from control panel , system.
I suspected registry problems, I've ran registry repair but found no errors.
Does any one have any suggestions as to the likely problems and suggested cures - I am trying to avoid wiping the C drive and starting again.
Regards Andy
