I see a lot of questions here regarding the subject problems.
WIN95/98 tends to create numerous conflicts all by itself, but particularly so when you are first configuring or when hardware is added- and especially if drivers are added manually. Even if device manager shows no conflicts, driver conflicts often persist and result in a variety of symptoms- including overall slowness, lagging response to input and program crash. It's not the choice of driver so much as the sequence of loading or way in which windows acquires them.
There is a method that solves many driver-related problems, and is otherwise harmless, which follows: Go into device manager and remove any driver suspected of conflict- indeed I sometimes remove all drivers. Then re-boot, and let Windows reload on it's own.
Windows then loads to it's own sequence schedule, and typically with all the same drivers- but the conflicts are clear.
Hope that helps some of you!
