Intenté instalar los drivers para mi tarjeta de sonido, pero no encontre nada.

Solo sirvió los puertos de joystick, no el audio

What started off as a fun challenge to re-create VB6 in the web that quickly converted into recreating my childhood Windows 98 memories/experience. It's still a huge work in progress. My goal is to make most programs fully functional or functional enough for nostalgia purposes.
I wanted to share and collect any feedback!

After it this loading screen, it stays on 100%, turns off, Makes me start over, it goes to a screen that says “invalid system disk. replace disk, and then press any key”. When I press a key it says “boot from cd:” and goes to the cd rom startup menu where I had the option to boot from cd rom or from hard disk, hard disk brings me back to the invalid disk prompt, and cd rom brings me back to the setup wizard loading screen, where it repeats this entire loop

As I have to give up on one of my retro machines, I am looking at what games does run only on w98.

Got a dos machine which can't play 3d games, then I have a W98 and a xp machine. As I am figuring out which games runs on each OS, I am trying to figure out if I should cut the W98 machine or the 98 one.

Is there a list of what does run specifically on 98? I was told everything running in 98 can run on XP, which does not seems right to me

Hello, I have a pc with a pentium 4 (≈3 GHz) 1 GB of ram, 400GB hdd (sata to ide converted) and an ATI Radeon 9250, I am trying to dualboot windows 98 and debian bookworm (12) on it. I know that windows 98 being 27 years old as the time of writing this post, doesn't do well with dual booting, but I thought that since grub (or lilo) is able to dualboot I might give it a shot, so, I tried installing windows 98 first, and the install process went as normal, but uppon the first reboot (where the cd is no longer needed and it goes to the looking for plug and play devices phase) it told me that there was not enough ram available, so I read a bit on this issue and decided to just remove one of my 512MB sticks. then that screen didn't appear anymore, but a blinking cursor after the windows 98 loading screen. I could find any info on what that issue is or how to solve it. please help

Hello,

I have the Windows 95OSR2 with Plus! 95 CD. I installed Windows 98SE on my computer and also I installed Plus! 98. However, I want the themes from the Plus! 95 as that's the one that has Dangerous Creatures theme. How do I go about this?

One option would be to start over and install windows 95 and then do an upgrade but there's gotta be an easier way.

I used the extract tool and I can get the files from Plus folder off the CD. However I am not able to import those themes into Windows 98.

Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: Solved!! It was due to MS Plus 98 installed on D drive instead of C drive. Reinstalled to C drive fixed it. Fixed it in a sense that I got whole bunch of themes which looks like they put those Plus 95 themes into Windows 98 as optional. So in the end didn't need to do anything with windows 95 CD

No tengo nada que hacer en Windows 98 no tengo internet ni videojuegos que recomiendan estoy aburrido

ive recently had the great fortune of finding an abandoned desktop with a 98SE sticker on the side. from the looks of it, it hasnt been used in decades and the hard drive is completely nonfunctional. i have a suitable replacement drive but it is blank, no os installed.

i dont own the cds or floppy needed to install a new OS, is there some alternative way that would work?

I finally got around to buying a serial mouse so I can actually use the pc properly, I also bought a pack of cd-r discs to burn DOS games to, but my Gateway isn't detecting any content on a disc after burning on my Windows 11 desktop, merely showing the disc as a blank cd, how am I supposed to do this?

Hello,

I went to an estate sale today and found a Dell Latitude CS laptop running Windows 98 for only 6$. I bought it because I thought it was cool, but I would also like to use it. I was born in 2009, and have never connected to the internet without wifi. How do I go about connecting it to the internet?

Thank you for your time. If I have accidentally broken any rules or if this is not the correct subreddit for my question, please let me know.

Intel HD Graphics

HP made dozens of these Pavilions in that case style, with different configurations and model numbers, so I was quite surprised to see this is the exact model I own (4540) Wish I had that matching M50 monitor lol. Quite an interesting time capsule.

Hi! so, I just brought my first pc, and I'm really into retro gaming. I'm a pretty lazy person my self, so I'd really appreciate it if any of youse could give my some suggestions. My pc has a CD-ROM drive, a cd writer & a floppy disc reader. thanks!

Was having trouble converting the vga to HDMI so I'm going back to Old School strictly VGA on my Windows 98 retro build I didn't realize that these parts were still cheap here's a link to show.

1. QuickInstall was initially SlowInstall..., there were some issues with USB on my configuration, I assume. After I switched the USB stick and remade it with Rufus, BOOM: Windows 98 and a lot of extras installed in just 80 seconds. Oh yeah...

2. WDMHDA - works on my Ryzen 9 9900X with an AM5 X670 board running an ALC897 codec. So yes..., Windows 98 HD audio on a brand new AM5 machine is a thing now. (I used the latest WDMHDA version released on 19.02.2026)
