re: Faulty Device Drivers in Device Manager Thursday, April 26, 2007 at 1:23 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ed (742 messages posted) If the driver is listed as not properly installed, that *won't* be an error! Windows 98 does not exactly have brilliant support for device drivers. So if you unplug the devices, I'm not surprised to learn that your system is unstable. If you install drivers, you need to actually turn on the devices too! What else have you got the drivers installed for, after all? Your particular system is (sadly) inherently unstable, because of the existing driver errors/conflicts. If you had *no* errors/conflicts, so the system was inherently stable, you might not experience this aspect of the problem. So it's worth persevering.
