[TechAssist] Computer Display Driver Question

This is my computer that I use for my shop. It is an Acer Aspire 200mhz
Pentium. I replaced the old 4 gig hard drive with a 40 gig. I got
everything working except the display. I am using the same driver as with
the old hard drive
but when I boot it defaults to the 640 x 480 16 bit color. When I try to
change the settings it says there is a problem with the display adapter
or driver. I know
the hardware is ok because if I go back to the old hard drive it works
fine with all the settings. The only thing different about this
installation is that the old hard drive originally had windows 95. I had
upgraded to win 98 and it still worked fine. On the new hard drive I
loaded only win 98. Is there something this display
driver needs from win 95? The display driver is an ATI mach64 on board
type...
Thanks for any help on this.
