"The computer may NOT boot if this battery is dead" ... well, since mine boots, then I guess it ain't dead? :| There's actually one way I can still test it before changing it, I'll set the date and time, if date and time will remain consistent, then it's definitely not dead. EDIT: Here's some news. …

The shutting down is random, sometimes it's very stable and lasts for over an hour, other times it shuts down after 10 minutes of usage... I noticed that the first times a day that I use it, is when it lasts longer, then the AC adapter builds heat and starts shutting down the PC randomly like that …

Hmm, interesting! I wonder what kind of audio and graphics chips it has? No idea about the actual models yet, as I now have to deal and fix this "spontaneous shutting down" problem first Congrats! What a neat little machine. ESS Audio could be a good sign. ESS made the best sound blaster clones, …

Hi guys! It's been a long time since I've visited VOGONS, but I've been super busy with University, these months and a few weeks ago I finally graduated, so I finally got that sweet free time I've been looking for a while! Today, a friend gifted me a Mitac 5033, a retro laptop from the late '90s. …

It might help a bit, with some fresh new capacitors, but since none of them is bulging, why may have they died inside without reason and from a day to another ?
ASUS TUV4X boots but doesn't POST
Posted on 2018-05-29, 12:12
Hi, I never ever had a single problem with this ASUS TUV4X system, nonetheless my best Windows 98 PC so far, with 512MB of SDRAM and the epic Intel Pentium III Tualatin CPU. But since Sunday, it's been giving me nightmares, the PC turns on just fine, fans spin, disk drives read and actually reads …

And not only in matter of speed, but when I use my flashdrive via USB on that Windows 98 PC, when I open any MIDI file or I rename some folder, explorer crashes, while from network (same flashdrive shared through my main PC right now) it works fine.

Ok, done thanks, now I don't get that domain stuff anymore, also I got bidirectional sharing working fine and dandy, it's not as simple and organized as XP and further, with all the shared computers ready to just open and browse, instead I have to manually map them with the IP, but hey, at least …

I managed to get a shared folder from my Windows 10 on Windows 98 now, but the other way around, as he shows in the video, isn't working, I checked the sharing files and printers, but the "share" option isn't still there. Also he doesn't mention at all what to put in the "Domain" field at logon, …

Thanks, I'll now watch that Phil's tutorial. Therefore, before making another thread, does the same thing also apply for Windows 3.11 with TCP/IP protocol, at this point ?
Local Network (LAN) on Windows 98 ain't working, but Internet works just fine
Posted on 2018-04-18, 07:26
Hi, yesterday I managed to get a PCI Realtek RTL8139 network card to work in Windows 98, I can connect to Internet and "almost" browse (well, with a loadful of SSL certificates errors every second on Netscape and IE), but I can't access the local network, I can't see the shared folders on my Windows …
Re: MS-DOS 6.22 memory problem

Somehow I managed to fix the memory problem, now when I do "mem" I also see an extra string that says EMS, now every game works fine, Bash has its sounds back, Realms of Chaos runs even if I keep my CD-ROM driver loaded, everything is working again as they were before swapping the HDD. I'm kinda …

Re: MS-DOS 6.22 memory problem

Well, I was always running MS-DOS 6.22 with both Himem and EMM386 loaded anyway and not much was different, except that now I can run those games and I get 641 free memory (not enough to run Realms of Chaos: 650, but I get them if I don't load the CD-ROM driver), whereas in MS-DOS 6.22 with the …
