1. No. 2) No. It will probably cause more problems. Virtual memory has to be 1.5 times RAM, though. So, if it's anything else but 384 MB, change it to 384. Or "Let Windows manage virtual memory". 3) I'd suggest that you return to the drivers that you received with your card, especially with win98SE on the machine. Installing the latest, bleeding-edge drivers may cause problems quite easily. 4) I'd also re-install DirectX 7, unless you need 8.1 for games. This might help: http://www.aumha.org/a/memmgmt.htm
