Install Win98 first ,MS-DOS 7.1 second. Please stop giving advice that does not make sense. I am just SHARING my own experience. Action speaks louder than words. I tried myself by installing DOS 7.1 and WIN98. Do you have tried yourself? I know DOS 7.1 is the unoffical name. But it has better …

Install Win98 first ,MS-DOS 7.1 second. DOS7.1 supports FAT32 and larger HDD than DOS 6.22 DOS7.1 supports ISA sound card,SBAWE, ASL... For some games, you need to turn on EMS and set frame when necessary. For some games, you need to use himemx.exe instead of himem.sys

You can probably get away with the standard vga driver in Win3.11 Your not going to miss out on much. How are you loading the iso's in dos? For the bin/cue you could use an old version daemon tools in Win98 as it still has good dos compatibility, unless its for the games soundtrack. I'm not sure if …

Try SB PCI driver. The file name includes sbinit, sblegacy.... You could download the driver from Internet by search SB PCI 128. Hope that can solve your question

I feel that 775 is more suitable than 478 for reasons that it supports duo core, which could speed up when running some big software such as Eclipse, JDK,Visual Studio 2008, 3DS MAX, etc. Multithread has been applied to these apps. For video card, it seems that Geforece7 with AGP slot is your friend …

Hi guys, recently I have fnished my P4 478 build. The specs is listed as follows. CPU: Northwood 2.8G (FSB-533) RAM: DDR400 1GB MOBO: Industry MOBO with ISA slot Video: FX5900 AGP(128M) + S3 Virge PCI(4M) + On board 845(64M) Sound: ASL007 + On board Realtek Network: On board Realtek8169 HDD: Seagate …

Today, I remove the AGP card and replace with a PCI 4MB S3 Virge Card. This issue still occurs. Maybe I figure out the reason: 1. Video card DAC is too slow to catch up with the LCD large screen? 2. LCD does not support high refresh rate(above 60), while the video card does not support the low …

Jo22, many thanks for your help. Actually, there is no option "allow IRQ to VGA" on my BIOS. Whatever, I know the root cause now.

MOBO: 845(socket 478), J3160MP(modern CPU, 1151) OS: DOS 7.1 The video cards are: FX5500, MX440, Gefore210(modern PCI-E cards, without power supply, Intel HMA 3000 within 1151) From the beginning of powering up my PC to DOS Menu, the LCD screen will TURN BLACK IN ONE MINUTES AND COMES BACK TO NORMAL …

Hi guys, Recently, I find my ATI 7500 video card not work well under WIN3.11(DOS 7.1) with two ISA sound cards, SB AWE64 and ALS007. When I enter into Win3.11, the start-up sound will hang, and I've tried to disable the start-up sound, but it is no use. When I play back some WAV /MID files, the …

The generic SVGA driver for Win3.x most likely follows the VESA capabilities of the cards BIOS. It doesn't provide any GDI acceleration. As for the ATI 7500, the conflict likely arises due to the IRQ mapping. So it might work to set in BIOS PnP OS to No and reserve the ALS007 IRQ in the PnP table …

I have tested many modern cards under dos7.1 / windows 3.11 on my 845 platform machine, not from vmware, not from dosbox. These video cards are: 1. ATI 7500,AGP 2. MX440,AGP 3. FX5500,AGP 4. Gefore200 G210, PCI-E The driver for Windows 3.11 is generic svga with patch(search google if needed), and …
