I'm actually using a GeForce 2 MX PCI, so having the same issues 🤣! But yeah, I had the same issue running it from Windows 98 SE and in real dos mode.

Sounds like I just went through exactly the same thing OP went through, sorry to raise an old thread, but I was having the exact same issue with the game freezing up typically at the main menu (or sometimes rarely shortly after getting into the game), with music continuing to play through the CD, …

Well, it did! Only thing that didnt install were the onboard sound drivers, but I have put in a Sound Blaster PCI (I think the same one I had back in the day) and all is well :D Now to find my GeForce 2 MX ..... Good job ! Which master CD did you use ? Just curious.... I used my original Master …

HDD seems to be the original, with the tattoo stuff on it. If i run the EXTHS /RESTORE and TATTOO /CREATEDMIFROMHS commands, will that overwrite whats on there, and then it should allow my old master CD to work? And I love my old basic PC 😂

Ah sorry, UK region. The master CD I have from back then is labelled 6767910501 - but is detected as the wrong master CD when attempting to restore, so I suspect you are right I need one just a little bit newer for this one. I did take a look at I think the tattoo info on the machine, this is it - …
Re: Got a hold of an old Pentium III server (Compaq ML350) - Drivers!

Thank you all, tried the Smart Start CD, appears to set everything and and get me into NT without an issue. I think the only obvious thing that wasn’t installed is video drivers but I can sort that one out. No other apparent issues (hard for me to know without device manager 🤣). Thanks again 😀

Trying to find the master CD's for a Packard Bell Club 730 machine, has an Intel Pentium III 733Mhz, from what I can see this model came out in 2000/2001 maybe, but most definately came with Windows 98 SE. Thankfully it still has all original hardware in it along with it's original OS install, so …

Managed to get a hold of this recently, had Windows NT Server installed, Pentium III 733 Mhz, 128MB memory and 2 9GB SCSI hard drives. It still had all the previous data on it from it's previous location, which I have now wiped and would like to reinstall everything fresh, however I have nothing in …

Thanks for the reply, some golden information in there, really appreciate it 😀 You are right though, this bug is starting to make me spend a little too much on old hardware, need to restrict myself :p

I tried it again, but the F710 (in Direct Input mode) shows up was Logitech Wireless F710, and windows cant find any drivers for it. I have the Logitech software (4.60 i think) installed, but cant seem to find any drivers for it.
Win 98 / DOS Build Help
Posted on 2019-01-25, 11:29
Wondering what peoples opinions were on this, as I'm looking to build a machine for Win 98 & DOS gaming. My understanding is, for real DOS gaming, your gonna need an ISA sound card, and PCI versions with DOS drivers are a bit all over the place in regards to compatibility. So I've bought an ASUS …

Holy crap .... it works! Put a couple of jumpers on just like the pic and hey presto, sound returns. Thanks bud, it was driving me mad .... maybe I missed it being pointed out in the manual. You legend :blush: Although now I can definitely notice a drop in quality from the bargain basement card I …

Oh and for added weirdness, I just tried a live Linux USB (Knoppix i think it was called), and I had no sound output there either ..... until I plugged in the speakers to the microphone port, and hey presto, sound!
Asus P4S800-MX - No Sound

I've got this board for my retro rig, however I have never been able to get any sound output from the onboard sound card, despite it being detected by W98, and the drivers from the Asus site being installed and everything appearing happy. My speakers are connected to the green output, and there is …

It hurts knowing this, as I had a brand new in box Voodoo 2 or 3 (cant remember), that was bought well over a decade ago by a family member, which didn't fit their PC, so gave it to us and .... we didn't have an AGP port either, so it sat unused in its box. No idea what I did with it, cant find it …

Well, got quite lucky, a chance look on eBay, I found someone selling a ASUS P4S800-MX + Pentium 4 2.8Ghz for sale nearby. Went and grabbed it, swapped out my current board, and other than the onboard sound seemingly not working (despite having drivers installed and it recognizing it, so used a …

Ask old hardware and OS questions in Marvin. This forum is for old Windows games on *modern* systems. https://www.vogons.org/viewforum.php?f=60 Moved. Apologies, and thanks for moving it, new here so wasn't sure the best place to post :blush: Had a look at the motherboard, and I can see a few …
How stable is your Windows 98?
Posted on 2018-11-23, 09:31
So I started up an old Windows 98 PC I had, fresh install of Windows 98 SE, no further updates than that, just chipset, audio, USB, GPU drivers (44.03) and latest possible DirectX isntallation. I do find after installing some games, sometimes they might crash on first start up, sometimes I get a …
