I have a few different computers hooked up to my CRT Monitor and would like to profile all of them. Is there any color calibration software for Windows 98? Is it possible to generate an ICCv2 profile as an ICM file in Windows 10 and then load it on Windows 98? I tried this, but am not seeing the …

I just found this thread. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me (I'm trying to run the program on WinXP 64 bit). It starts, but then just sits in the memory with 7-8 MB usage and nothing appears. Tried Win95/98 compatibility, copied the DLL with no luck. The integrated ATI ES1000 "card" supports …

I built i80486 system. And decided to put in there underpowered (for that system) Sound Blaster 2.0, but that's oldest system after 8088 build I have, where I prefer other sound card. So the question is - where to get at least Mixer for Windows 95? Is it possible? How to manage levels? like Line in …

In Quake timedemo I get only 12.7 FPS, Speedsys score is 54.54. I mean I got a lot higher scores on an older motherboard with less FPM RAM, without any BIOS tuning and PODPR83 CPU. Is the PODPR83 CPU so much better than Cx5x86-120? I doubt it. Do you have any ideas? Thanks! I would say your results …

Make sure the directory holding the bin/cue files is both executable and readable by the current user. Good to check just in case, but in this specific case, the error suggests that the cue file is being found and read, but the referenced img file isn't . In the limited tests that I have run, the …

Yes, Windows 8+ can automatically and manually (via defrag) initiate TRIM on any interface (ATA/SAS/NVME/USB). But AFAIK limitation for NTFS is still there, i.e. no TRIM on FAT32 or ExFAT. I can confirm the TRIM on NTFS only (not FAT32) in Windows 10 . See https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p= …

Would be nice, but what about the game playing music tracks only once (then you have to pause and recover the game window to make it play again in loop...)? Did someone test this too? The lack of looping issue is likely the one referenced here : https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=885620#p885620 …

I think SciTech Display Doctor does it in the full test in DOS, but been a while since I've run it. I seem to recall that too, but that would only test the memory required for a given video mode (and whatever buffering option is chosen). That may not be sufficient to test all of the memory a GPU …
