Help! Can't Install Nvidia Drivers

Well on a new rig (Biostar M7NCG 400) with OS Win 98 2E. I went to remove all the drivers to install current chipset Nforce2 driver from the Nvidia site. In ADD/REMOVE programs, I selected ALL Nvidia drivers, and that's where the trouble started. The pc never did reboot at the prompt ( I had to reset it after it hung somewhere in betwwen) When it did reboot, the drivers were still there, so I uninstalled them one at a time. To make sure, I ran Driver Clean in safe mode and rebooted. I was able to install the display drivers, but again upon reboot the display hung and I had to reset. The display is working correctly now. When I put the driver cd in and select any of the other drivers, the load bar runs rapidly across with no other signs of a driver being loaded. I rebooted and checked remove/install programs and the only one there is the dispay driver. I tried this again with no luck. On the following reboot at the new hardware wizard, I opted to install the drivers that way and selected the correct path to the cd. Same old thing. I have no idea what to do. Drivers are not my forte (obviously). Any ideas? I'll reformat if I have to to clean this mess up, but I'd rather not.
The drivers I can't install are:
Nvidia Crush Chipset Driver
" " SMB Driver
" " Ethernet Driver

Thanks all

sorry about the VERY late reply, but it seems to me that you should have installed the chipset drivers before the graphics card drivers.

What you should try to do is remove any nvidia drivers from add/remove programs and use driver cleaner if necessary afterwards to get rid of any lingering traces and reboot. Then install the chipset drivers first, reboot, then install graphics drivers.

 

You should leave the motherboard chipset drivers intact (current chipset Nforce2 driver) and overwrite these motherboard drivers with the new chipset drivers...never uninstall motherboard drivers, always overwrite them with the UPDATE DRIVERS in Control Panel-System-Device Manager-Update Drivers...When you uninstall these chipset drivers, you also disabled any reference to installed hardware, that Windows 98 SE recognizes...this will cause numerous hardware conflicts and screw-up your present configuration...
Update your NEW motherboard drivers, then any integrated hardware drivers (embedded hardware components), soundcard, usb,network etc., then your soundcard drivers (if PCI-SLOT based)..but make sure you reboot your computer after EACH SEPARATE driver update...Windows 98 has an operating system BUG and can't install MORE then one updated hardware driver...Windows XP will allow more than one hardware driver install and reboot to configure each new hardware reference....I hope this helps...
