 This should be run first, it's called infinst_enu.exe .  You HAVE to have gotten Windows 95 to do some PCI detection ahead of time, otherwise the driver will say there is NO PCI chipsets in the system.  And yes most devices will not work until you've run this update.. It's annoying.  Run the utility, let it do it's thing and it'll reboot a few times.  Now you should have the PCI stuff running.  If the video prompts for a driver you should just ignore it for now.

 Next I just opened up the hardware manager, and pointed the video card to the 'new' driver located on the CD in VBE9X\UNI ..  After installing the driver, and a reboot the VGA card was 'still in the way'.  Simply open up the hardware manager and remove the VGA card, and reboot and it'll now be running the new SVGA / VESA driver.  The only 'issue' I've had with this driver is that MS-DOS prompts seem to corrupt the screen... alt+enter seems to 'fix' it..
