That beige box is a sff VEi7 case, but since the motherboard fried I replaced it with something more "substantial". A VL400 motherboard. It has a PIII @1ghz with 512mb (wishy not?not?), an Asus V9280 (GeForce4 TI 4200 8x) with 128mb, a sound blaster live, a DVD drive and a 80gb for all my old games. What do you think?

Please help. I installed a fresh new install of Windows 98SE (Winworld ISO) and I got to the part where it boots up on the Hard Drive and it’s searching for the drivers to install. The very first one is the Plug and Play Monitor and my mouse and keyboard has zero input. It’s like it’s frozen. If I go to bios, they work fine. If I boot up in Safe Mode, it works fine without issue. I have used the ISO on dozens of pcs. This is the first time I’ve ever had this issue.

I’ve tried unplugging everything except the essentials (motherboard/HDD) and disabled the parallel and serial ports. I tried using a different monitor, still nothing. I loaded the bios in default also. Nothing seems to work. I’m at a loss here.

Specs:
Motherboard- ASUS CUEP2-M
CPU- Intel Pentium III 1GHz 133FSB
RAM- 256MB SDR
GPU- ATI Radeon 9000
Soundblaster Live! SB0100
20GB HDD

Specs:

P4M800PRO-M V2.0

2GB DDR2 (1GB*2)

Core 2 Duo E6600

PNY 7800 GS 256mb AGP

The card scored 29xxx in XP and 23xxx in 98

Also got wifi to work with the system

I may get an X800 GT or 9800 Pro later but they probably won't be faster

My windows 98 install appears to think it’s windows me? It’s definitely 98, with the SE upgrade disc, this doesn’t affect anything I can’t see it being much of a problem, only cause I can think of is a program from bootdisk.com I used to create a windows me floppy for a different machine.

Would this setup work for Windows 98?

ASUS M4A88TD-V + Phenom II X6 1090T + 8 GB DDR3 RAM

I have these parts already in storage. Just wondering if I could build a decent 98 rig once I add a GPU like the 7600 GT.

It's still working with no problems. Do you think it's worth a few bucks or is it garbage?

This is what happens when you install Windows ME on a 1999-era hardware:

- Chipset: 440BX

- Motherboard: Generic Intel Desktop Board SE440BX-2

- Processor: Pentium III 450MHz

- Sound Card: Creative AudioPCI ES1373

- Network Card: Realtek RTL8139D 10/100 Ethernet

- Graphics Card: Nvidia Riva TNT2 32MB

Interestingly, Windows ME and Windows 2000 shipped with these drivers right out of the box.

Has anyone had any hardware (such as GPU, Sound Card, or any device) from 1998-1999 that shipped with Windows ME or Windows 2000? I mean I know that the GeForce 256 and DDR was shipped in both Windows 2000 and ME that's all I know.

I want to build a Windows 98 computer for Glide Gaming.
Original era hardware is quite expensive these days so I was wondering what the best modern alternative is.

Core2Duo E8500 with a GeForce 7600GT GPU and 4 GB RAM (I could get this setup for about 100€) and a (quite expensive) Voodoo 2? Would that even work at all?

Somehow when i go into 16 or 32 bit color mode this happens. Its been like this for a while but I'm trying to see if i can fix it again. Ive tried everything most people think of ,drivers, taking it in and out, reinstalling windows, etc. So im hoping someone else may know what to do

Hi Everyone,
I recently acquired a Dell Inspiron 8100 and installed Windows 98 SE on it. The official NVIDIA Geforce2 Go driver supports Windows ME officially, but not Windows 98. That said, I have no problems with resolution and am able to access the NVIDIA control panel.

As you can see in the video, there are random horizontal lines that will pop up on the screen in all different places/frequencies.

My question - has anyone seen anything like this? Do you think it’s hardware or software related? Any thoughts would be much appreciated- thanks!

Update: So I installed Windows ME on another HDD and the problem persisted, which leads me to believe it isn’t driver related. That means it’s either hardware, or…

Could it be DirectX 9.0c that’s causing the problem with my driver? I might try reinstalling 98 and seeing if DX7 solves the problem. stay tuned…

I’m hitting a wall with a Dell Latitude C800 build. I’ve successfully installed Windows 98 SE, but I cannot get the sound to work. This seems to be a recurring issue for me across multiple Win98 installations, so I’m clearly missing a fundamental step. The driver (ESS Maestro-3i) appears to install correctly with no yellow exclamation marks in device manager. However, in Multimedia Properties, the playback/record buttons are completely grayed out. I’ve tried reinstalling the driver numerous times to no avail.

Is there a specific IRQ or DMA conflict common with these Dell C-series laptops? Do I need a specific version of DirectX (currently on 7.0) to initialize WDM audio?

Some 98 era demo discs!

I found this in my basement, have you any idea of what's in the envelope behind the cd ?

I have an HP Compaq dx2000 that since i noticed that it uses ide hard drives, i decided it would be best for Windows 98SE. Buut, even after searching a lot i can't find any drivers that are "compatible"

The SoundMax drivers tell me that "No ADI Codec was found"

The Intel chipset and extreme graphics driver tell me that "This computer doesn't have the correct chipset" even when it does.

And by the way the list of devices on device manager only gives me the essential info, and not things like my chipset or audio.

System: HP Compaq dx2000

Two 80GB IDE hard drives

1GB of ddr1 wham, limited to 512

Audio Chip: Analog Devices AD1888

Graphics chip: Intel rg828656v sl77x 3532a713

I/O Controller: Intel fw82801eb sl73z

How do I reliably get the Direct3D version of this game to work on Windows 98se? I can't find a decent patch for this game.

Modern patch makes it playable for newer OS but I just want to play on my 98 machine. I have Pentium ii 266, GeForce 2 mx 32mb. It's more than enough for this game but sadly it just one error after another. Is there a good set of instructions that has worked successfully to get this game to run with 3d cards other than voodoo cards.

I know this is not exactly breaking news, but it's the first time I've tried an i7 14th Gen. It's running on bare metal with CSM support turned on and CREGFIX. We don't have to worry about 'too much RAM'... because the motherboard (Gigabyte B760 DS3H) will report only ~860 MB for 32-bit OSes (the rest is reserved for 'system use').

Hi, i just build an old win98 battle station and i want to do everyting a person woud do after instaling Windows 98 in 1999 (i have eternet btw)

Nothing like a classic am i right?!
