Update: I was able to trick the PC into installing Windows 2000. I started with the Windows 98 disc in and formatted the hard drive anyway with the command prompt. Then I took out the disc and put in the 2000 disc, and ran WINNT.exe in command prompt. It all went fine. Now I just need to somehow …

Update: I was able to 'complete' the installation by changing an advanced startup option about drive compatibility in msconfig. (thanks to that thread link above!) It meant the CD Drive didn't work, but I was able to skip every file the installation wanted from my disc (they weren't important, just …

nforce 650 chipset isn't a good choice for a WIn9x system. It's going to be a battle to get it to work let alone well. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107895.0 Then as already mentioned Graphics card isn't supported either. Unsupported hardware doesn't mean it wont work, but you do have to …

512MB VRAM works fine for Windows 98SE. At l;east it works with an NVIDIA 7900GTX. Are you installing 98 first edition or 98 Second Edition? However, you are not going to find drivers for that 8800 GT as it not G80 based. There are modded drivers that supposedly support G80, but the 8800 Ultra …

I found my old XP PC to try Win 98 on it (I want to play some old games, they don't work in virtual PC), turns out I already installed it. However it would freeze as it was going to desktop . In safe mode it seemed fine (the mouse randomly stopped working once), but if I did anything as crazy as …

have you tried a nocd ? I googled this and it came up with: http://m0001.gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_fa_premier_league_fm_99.shtml However it only works on Win 95/98, so I've had to use VMware Player (virtual PC), but the problem is I installed Windows 98 and I can't connect to the internet. I tried …

Edit by Qbix: High quality answer, but it seems it was wasted on you. Good luck! Could you give me a recapped short version of this post? Say, a few sentences? Is it on topic, dare I ask? 😀

Just a Windows 95 or 98 computer that isn't slow will do me. That's far too vague and non-descript (and I can imagine why you're having problems now :happy:). Qualifiers like "fast" and "slow" are too relativistic to even begin breaking down. You need to establish what applications you want/need to …

There is a lot available on http://www.ebay.co.uk as well. :) Well I'm sure but what specific search terms should I be using? What kind of parts do you want? I generally search that specifically and then broaden based on the results I get. Just a Windows 95 or 98 computer that isn't slow will do me …

My biggest regret is getting rid of my two old Windows 95/98/2000 PCs, 'cause now there is the odd game I can never play unless I have one, particularly FA Premier League Football Manager 99. Is there any particular hotspot for getting an old PC? Preferably without hidden child porn.

From Googling, this doesn't work on XP SP2, Vista or 7. Apparently, it requires a DOS core and a graphics card, and virtual PC and emulation doesn't work. To make it worse, pretty much no one knows of this game. Any possible solution? I fear the only solution is to get an old PC, somehow.
