![]() Here is a download site for an Iomega ZIP 100 driver that lists supporting Windows 7: I've visited the following page and associated links without success I can't imagine that you'd be able to find a card nowadays that doesn't.When I connect my old Iomega ZIP100 to my PC running Windows 7, all the lights are on but no one's home!ĭo I need to install a driver? If so, I would be very grateful if someone can provide me a link for a free download. ![]() If the monitor was able to display at 1280x1024 previously, it should still be able to display at that resolution, so long as the new card supports that resolution. Should you end up having to fix the video by yourself as well, let us know the make/model of the card, and the make/model of your monitor, and we'll see if we can find suitable drivers for both. They seem to have blundered fairly badly - and if they guarantee their work, they are obligated to fix their mess. Note - the shop that incorrectly installed your video card should be willing to fix their mistakes at no cost to you. For an example of what is involved in manually setting up a SCSI card, here a sample set of instructions (these are for a "ZipZoom" SCSI card - many such cards use Adaptec controllers. For this, it's best to get intructions from the SCSI card's manufacturer's website. This sometimes involves setting jumpers on the card. If Windows still can't detect your SCSI controller after trying to install drivers for it & rebooting, you might have to setup the SCSI card manually. ![]() If it's plugged into an add-on PCI card, you'll want to find out what sort it is - if you're lucky, the drivers are built-into Windows 98 or Win98se - or might be on your ZIP drivers CD or floppy. If it's plugged directly into a plug on the motherboard, then you might find drivers at the motherboard manufacturer's website. Then re-install any SCSI controller drivers for your SCSI controller. Check in Device Manager again, & remove any devices listed under the "SCSI controllers" category (the category won't exist if none are installed). It might have to be installed separately. If your Zip drive came with an add-on PCI card that has the SCSI controller on it - you might have the drivers for it on the same CD or floppy diskette that came with the Zip. ![]() I suspect that the fellows who installed your video card were not experts with any of the older motherboards, and may have caused trouble for the SCSI controller you had installed OK earlier on. And since it's a SCSI device, you should see a category in Device manager that is just for SCSI devices = that would be your SCSI "controller". Your Zip should plug into it's very own connector, either on the motherboard, or into a plug on an add-on card (the add-on card's plug would stick out the back of your PC, near the area where you plug in your mouse, keyboard, monitor, & printer). Since you Zip drive isn't an IDE type, you don't have to worry about anything listed in that category. Also make sure that the setting is to ECP or to ECP + EPP. if the Zip is a parallel type (connects to the older "printer port") - of course leave that enabled in the Bios. If your motherboard provided onboard video before you added the new video card, look in the bios to see if you need to disable the onboard video to free up those resources - some systems could have both video sources active and enabled (it was an older way to run two monitors at the same time). This can free up IRQs ('interrupts' that devices need). If you have serial ports, parallel ports, or modems that you aren't using - you can disable these in the bios (you'd also want to physically remove any unused modems). Go to Device Manager (right-click on My Computer, select Properties, and then Device Manager) and look for "flagged" devices (yellow exclamation points or red "X"s). It's also possible that you have a resource conflict problem - something rare nowadays, but not so uncommon with Windows 95/98/Me. If successful, it might help with the detection of your drive. Make sure to have your Zip drivers ready, as Windows will attempt to reinstall the controller's drivers when you reboot. If not - try booting into Safe Mode (start tapping the F8 key as your PC is powering on), right-click on My Computer, select Properties, and then Device Manager - and try removing the controller for the type of Zip Drive you have (whether IDE, SCSI, parallel port, or USB).
