Joel: The SiS 5598 designation is the chipset, not the video card. That means somebody's video card or motherboard is using that video chipset. You can read the specifics about that chipset at:

Here's a Russian web site that has downloadable drivers for Win95/98/NT for video cards using that chipset:

Another option is to download a motherboard manufacturer's video drivers for their on-board video system using the SiS 5598 chipset. Here's a couple choices:

I wasn't keeping track of version numbers. Download the latest version number that you can find. Keep in mind that this particular chipset is a "legacy" device, and nobody's writing drivers for it anymore. Good luck...
