Where you ever able to get the stealth 64 to work with win 98. I'm having the same problem. I downloaded the "latest" drivers but win98 refuses to beileve this a Stealth 64 card. It tells me this is a standard PCI video card (VGA) - 16 colors at 640x480 only

I have a Diamond Stealth 64 Video VRAM card that works great in Windows 95. But in Windows 98,it only works in 640x480, in properties the resolution cannot be changed, even though the other resolutions are listed. Got same answer fron Diamond "NOT SUPPORTED buy new card. I can change desketop to higher resolution but the viewpoint still stays at 640x480 which means to see all you have to keep moving the desktop around in the viewpoint. I have not found a solution so i dual boot and use Windows 95 most of the time. DOES ANYONE HAVE A SOLUTION?

I came up with a work around to change the resolution. If you need it email me. I never had trouble getting 24 bit color. Don't use drivers that come with Win98, they do not work right. Use the diamond GT95 drivers. Hope this helps.
