It's not so much a device driver conflict, as it is poor code from IOMega.
Many IT pros have sworn-off using ANY IOMega products based on bad experiances with IOMega software and drivers.
My first question, is what do you plan to use the ZIP drive for?
If it is for personal file backups and transfers, I suggest that you forget the ZIP drive, and use a CD-RW drive.
Just compare the cost of ZIP disks, and blank CDs, and you will understand why.
If you need to be compatable with anothersystem that only has ZIP, then I quess you need to get the ZIP drive working.
Can you boot into safe mode?
If so, does the display work?
If so, set the display to the standard 16 color 640*480 resolution mode, and reboot.
If you can re-boot into normal mode, and your system works, do the following;
Update / Re-install the drivers for the motherboard / chipset on your PC.
Install DirectX 8.1 from Microsoft
Update the S3 driver.
Either from the graphics card mfg, or from www.s3graphics.com
Download and install any patches and updates from IOMega for the ZIP drive.
Best of wishes.
If your display is still messed up in safe mode, you best option is to install the hard drive as a slve in another PC and backup your files.
Then, format the drive and start over.
If your display functions in safe mode, but still is bad in normal mode, then see if you can use add/remove software to un-install the ZIP drive software.
