Hi. I tried it on my setup and it worked properly. I had to force uninstall a couple of already installed drivers and software by the official driver and after that it was a success! On step 3.3 it hung a couple of times. After that, it prompted me to point to the driver, which I did point to the …

It would be good to have diagnostic card. Then You could see is there any activity. At Your place I would disconect everything what is possible, all connectors but also pull out BIOS chips and assembly everything again. After so long time there may be some oxidation and, like in my case, take care …

Aside from me waiting the Ati Wonder to arrive, I found this: Windows 95 drops support for the 80286 Standard mode and the Hercules and CGA display adapters. Trying to install Windows 95 with CGA or Hercules graphics will result in USER.EXE failing to load. EGA display adapters are supported but not …

I bought an ATi VGA Wonder+, it should do its magic tricks to get 640x400 interlaced (that's gonna be painful) with conversion to TTL mono and it should have Win 95 drivers and appear as a VGA adapter to the OS, so many programs are not gonna complain. Also, this way the HGC card will go back to the …

I have built a driver disk to use the CGA driver from Windows 3.0 with Windows 95. It just was done by copying the proper files to the disk and to edit a .inf file that has been accepted by Windows 95 control panel. I got 640x200 monochrome. However, in several dialog boxes i could not reach the OK …

Upgrade works as intended, be it with the floppy version of 95 or CD version. But I cannot make it work with HGC. 😒 Installing 95 from scratch doesn't work because it wants to see a VGA adapter in the first place. If anyone has any other idea I shall try.

You were right, the first disk error was exactly due to HDD setup in BIOS, as described above. I've put a larger disk and now it's gone. Windows 3.1 & 3.11 & 95 get installed normally now. BUT I now get the same fatal error after the first reboot when it tries to load graphical environment to finish …

I did this once. By accident. Back in '95? I didn't take it too seriously... so I don't even remember what I did. I don't think it was via upgrade using the RTM disk. I think I hacked it in directly. But I still do have the upgrade disk. So maybe?? But I think upgrade allowing it is unlikely. I …

Hi everyone! So far I've succeeded installing Windows 3.1 on a 486DX33 computer with 16MB RAM and 500MB HDD, with a Hercules mono 8bit ISA clone card installed. Windows 3.1 includes drivers for such setup. I then read that even though Windows 95 RTM requires VGA card/monitor, if someone upgrades 3.1 …

I spent about 2 weeks reading this whole tread when the time permitted. It did not seem as if there was a clear answer on setting a 4x multiplier on P233 MMX chips. It was noted that the BF0 and BF1 pins should be shorted to set 4x. Another comment was to short BF0 and NC for 4x. RG100 tried both …

I have one of these https://www.pcstats.com/articles/1241/index.html and honestly it's great for dx6-7 9x gaming. It beats all of my FX5200 64bit and 128bit in early gaming performance (eg 3dmark 2000-2001SE scores). It even comes close to overclocked 128bit FX5600XT. So it seems Prolink/Pixelview …

Thank you for your answers. I don't have any other sound cards installed in that machine and I don't want to install any other. Maybe I should try one for test, but I think it'll be alright, as is in the other machine. I also don't have another gameport gamepad, so I can't really test the …
