What happens then?
See above.

Did you see my post about installing the Standard PCI Adapter?
No, I can't find it.

Look inside the "Microsoft Standard Display Types" the Standard VGA/PCI Adapter is listed there.
Or did you mean you can't find my post?
Here it is:
Leave the resources alone. Change the driver for the S3 card. Click "Change Driver" on the "General" tab. Update the driver manually to Standard VGA Adapter. Reboot, then disable in Device Manager. Reboot once more.

OK, I have to try, I don't remember if I had already tried.
So, I lost my patience ... uninstalled everything and installed Windows 95
Look:
Now I would like to understand, before I curse, because in Windows 95, there are no problems and in Windows 98SE yes????
I will do it tomorrow, if I do an upgrade to windows 98SE, instead of a clean install, shouldn't there be any problems?

A clean install usually gives better results (including formatting the drive). You might want to try using the /PI switch with setup (SETUP.EXE /PI). This will force Windows 98 setup to use the resources assigned in the BIOS.
Have you tried the option "Disable in this Hardware Profile" for the S3 card in device manager?

The installer does not recognize the / PI command. How is it possible? I write setup.exe / PI

Yes, it doesn't work.
Ok I misspelled the command. My mistake. The installation has started.

I ran your advice, changing to setting the integrated tab to General, restarted, then disabled, restarted, but nothing ....
It does not work!
I can say with certainty that the windows 95 installation is more compatible and does not create problems.
I discovered a very strange thing, even if the integrated video card is set to General and disabled, in the display properties and in "Video Card" windows sees the integrated graphics card, which I set with the general drivers. I do not understand why.
Should see Matrox !!
I understand, the problem. In Windows 95 it does not show up, since during installation you can specify which devices to install.
I remember now, I told him to ignore the integrated card, and to install the generic driver for the Matrox.
Once windows started, I installed the matrox drivers, and when it restarted, only after windows did it automatically install the integrated video card drivers!
This meant that the matrox board was set as the main one and the problem did not arise.
Then for safety I deactivated the integrated card and everything ended well!
Question, in Windows 98 is it possible to do such an installation? Because that option has been removed, but I see that it is very useful to have it, this is a point in favor of Windows 95.
I wanted to update windows, but I get a message:
Your computer already has an operating system installed, but it is impossible to update it with this version of the installer. Use the Windows 98 update.
I searched the web for this update in Italian, but I can't find it ....
Ok, I found it, after a lot of research.
So, update completed. Guess what?! Everything works perfectly!
Because? why?! If I install Windows 98 clean, does it give problems? As an upgrade from windows 95 to 98 no! I don't understand anything!

You answered your own question:

previously known as Discrete_BOB_058
Ok, found out one thing, in Advanced Settings, there is ROM Shadowing
I noticed that except the first three options, I can change everything.
Here almost everything is disabled, except the last entry which is enabled, it says: (BIOS for video adapter).
Isn't that the option to disable the integrated card?
Isn't it better for me to enable everything, since everything is disabled?
You're going to find a lot of talk to disable that option, and then there is more talk to leave it. Outside of a specific need - Bottom line - if your machine is working - leave this option alone. It doesn't hurt or help at this stage, and it is not related to disabling the onboard video hardware. I've read it's more of an ISA video card setting.
