Hi. I'm trying to install the Windows 98SE driver for a Cirrus Logic 5446 1MB PCI video card. After I install the Cirrus driver, Windows 98 asks for "SUPERVGA.DRV". I tell it that its inside C:/Windows/System then i'm asked to reboot. After I reboot, It wants me to start the installation all over again....

Is there a way to fix this error without having to try out yet another video card?
 
Some years ago, I remember, I had a similar issue.

Try the following:
- Boot in safe mode
- verify first, that SUPERVGA.DRV is the correct one, otherwise you may copy it from the W98 CD.
- remove all graphics adapters from devicemanager
- reboot
...

Maybe that could help?!

Kind regards
Mirko
