Now that the 82.69 driver is installed, and working fine on DVI widescreen (FX 5200 card), the inability to restart Windows from DOS bugs me. I can live with it for the widescreen capability, but I hate to see Windows 98 disabled even a little. Has anybody using the 81.+ drivers found a fix or patch for this yet, other than the command.com shortcut workaround?

No. No one has. That's why I gave up using it.

The last driver that works flawlessy is the 29.42, in my experience, but, perhaps, YMMV.

29.42?

No good if one has a more recent card like a series 5 or higher...

Well ... nutz.

Guess I'll have to consider it penance for viewing enjoyment. Widescreen analog I could coax out of the 56.64 drivers by adding a 1680x1050 key to the registry display modes, but that trick won't work with DVI. (Actually I forced analog widescreen out of the 29.42 driver too, with the same hack, but that was on a TNT2 card.)

Anyhow thanks for the bad news ..
