[Apologies for the part repost]

I recently replaced a faulty PSU on a Win XP PC, now has Win98 on it, with
up-to-date drivers for the mobo (MSI KM2M Combo) and video. Could the PSU
crash have affected the video card?

It seems the video card (Asus V8170 DDR64 GeForce 4MX) is partly broken. The
BIOS is set for 4x AGP. The windows 'display' Asus section says that there
is no AGP, marked as 'off'. With dxdiag, I only have Directdraw test
available. There is no AGP test (greyed out) and the test in between reports
a 'generic failure'. Half Life and Quake 3 will work in OpenGL but not D3D,
no other 3D game will work (no 3D hardware detected).
I did try the Nvidia drivers, but it reported no Nvidia hardware. I used
Direct 8.0, and then upgraded to 8.1. I know the card *used* to show 4x AGP
in Windows.

Thanks.

This is usually a sign that the updated AGP drivers have not installed
correclty.Use the originals that came on the mother board disk and or
some other updated versions.
Also.
"Rivatuner"(free),
http://www.guru3d.com/rivatuner/
has a built in hidden registry fixer.It can detect and correct bad
AGP/Video entries if you go through it's D3D/OpenGL etc tabs as it
will popup and tell you if it finds something.
HTH :)
