I am sorry to make this my first post in a while. Over the last year I have been running various benchmarks on my Asus P3B-F based system. I am currently trying to run all of my 1999-2000 video cards through Q3Bench and for some reason one of them, the Geforce 256, just won't finish the benchmark. I have two cards and they both quit at the same time. The program just quits to the desktop every time. I have no problem even with the Riva TNT, but this supposed monster card crashes. I am wondering if anybody else has had this problem. Initially I thought it was supposed to close to the desktop, but then I can't find any benchmark file anywhere on the drive.

I have tried all of the usual uninstall and reinstall Quake III, Q3 Bench and Nvidia drivers. Quake III itself doesn't seem to crash. What I have not attempted yet is to remove the disabled Matrox Mystique, m3D and Diamond Monster 3D Voodoo 1 that are installed in the system currently. I was hoping I could change the AGP card out and switch back and forth without physically removing the rest.

System Specs:
Asus P3B-F
Celeron 300A
320MB PC100
Geforce 256
(Disabled Matrox Mystique 8MB, m3D, Diamond Monster 3D Voodoo)
Creative Awe 64 Gold
Windows 98 SE (unofficial final service pack)

Thanks in advance.

While I wait for the crickets to stop chirping I have another troubleshooting issue I can't resolve. I am running most games from ISO from my Windows 7 64-bit server to the 98SE box, loading them in Daemon Tools. I also install all demos and programs from the server. The problem is, if I don't reboot the server, for some reason the 98 box cannot connect to the mapped network drives. If I do reboot the server then everything connects fine. I cannot figure out why this is happening, and even making timeout adjustments in the server's settings files hasn't changed it.
