Pissed Black Swirly Screen

Can anyone give me advice? I have a Windows 98 and I downloaded a Windows 98 ATI Radeon
driver from ATI's official website. I have downloaded the same driver from numerous other websites aswell. After I extract all the files from the EXE it is time to set it up. As soon the set up is supposed to come up - BOOM!! My whole entire screen goes pitch black with little red and blue parralell lines running all through it. I can't click on anything - not even if I press ctrl+alt+del does it go away! Sometimes I get a blue screen that says "fatal error" other times it says "frequency overload". I always have to reboot the computer by switching the button off in the back.

I need an ATI radeon graphics driver to run my Sims 2 game. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You might consider an upgrade but it sounds to me like your display is being set to a resolution it doesn;t like when the drivers are initialized
