Hello, I have a fully working Windows 98 build with a Pentium 3 that most of you might already know, since we've discussed stuff about it in the past. The network on it used to work flawlessly, with a dedicated PCI card, now I am facing a very weird issue: if I connect it with a cable straight to …

And what about it not recognizing the CPU as a Pentium 2 anymore, but x86 family something?

If it involves reinstalling Windows 98SE again, I'll pass, everything's working fine after all, it's just an aesthetic thing Likewise the gradients on the title bars somehow stopped showing up too, now they're flat blue colors, despite the fact that I have the 3dfx drivers installed and I have the …

Alright, after successfully installing Windows 98 SE on the SSD, it seems that something weird happened to the system, it works fine, no problems at all, the only thing is that all of a sudden in the system info it shows up as "Windows ME" and instead of "Intel Pentium II" I have a "x86 Family 6 …

I got some of them to work after manually changing each individual file's permissions and disabling "read only". It's a pain as I must do it one file at a time and some games are over 200 files!!! Is there a way to quickly change the permissions of multiple files on OS/2 like on windows?

Hello! Is there a way to get Sound Blaster sounds work in DOS games from Windows ME using an AWE32 PNP sound card? For some reason, music in such games is working just fine, but if I select the sound blaster card in their setups, they give me a conflicting IRQ error (Duke Nukem and ROTT, but …

So I then installed Windows ME and so far it's working nicely, tho I haven't plugged in any USB drive in it..... After all, since I'm now using a …

Here's a bit of heads up on the things! The adapters arrived today and I'm currently still testing stuff out, I ordered an SD to IDE and a SATA to IDE adapters. The SD to IDE makes the computer hang after POST, when it should automatically detect the C/H/S of the drive; I tried different cards but …

I'm using a Creative Labs 3D Blaster 3DFX Voodoo Banshee 16MB AGP GPU I couldn't find any drivers specific for OS/2 or anything below Windows 95, so I went with Generic VGA and everything worked fine, including higher resolutions and colors under Win 3.11 games

Ironically, Windows 3.11 games seem to be working just fine, I even got full 256 colors support and sound working, it's only DOS games that are giving me so many tribulations... This is because OS/2 has a very good Win16 integration, called Win-OS/2. That's awesome, so if I can't get the DOS games …

I just checked and currently the floppy drive is already disconnected Another thing that happens and I forgot to mention, is that for some reason Windows 98 boots one time, then the next boot crashes with STACK error, then the next time boots again and so on, weird
