Try renaming opengl32.dll to something different (bkup_opengl32.dll for example) and loading GLQuake. Doesn't always work, but I've found the supplied OpenGL lib and Voodoo cards don't always work perfectly.

Head over heels seemed like the hardest game in the world to my younger self when the tape finally managed to load on my CPC464.

Ok, so I managed to get it to work in the end. However, as Jorpho, I couldn't use GParted no matter what partition scheme I used. Method 1. Clear all partitions and make sure drive is unallocated using GParted Live. 2. Boot with Win 98 floppy. 3. FDisk a PRIMARY partition to the desired size. 4. …

Overheat, I had a similar problem. You can read the post here. The only thing I could do was swap the optical drive. While I am convinced it was a specific problem between the the OS and the hardware rather than the hardware its self, I couldn't track down what the specific problem was.

In my continuing quest to restore/rebuild a P3 based system I am attempting to multi-boot 98/XP/Linux but again need your help. :depressed: I had a very stable 98/Lubuntu dual boot working but have run into difficulties incorporating XP. Originally, I partitioned the HDD into three primary and one …

I agree. I actually use it as my primary operating system nowadays, mainly because Windows has some irreconcilable sound issues on my machine. It might be a driver issue, I don't know, but regardless, I'm starting to like Linux better than Windows in a number of ways, and whenever I try to use …

So, being short of time, I put another optical drive in it's place to see the outcome. That is working perfectly. Therefore the issue is between the specific, orginal CD-ROM drive and Win 98 (and not CD-ROMS & Win 98 in general). For now I will continue with the compatable device, but I don't like …

Geeez.... Can't even trust Linux to do the most simple things... Linux can be frustrating, but it is worth the learning curve. What are the file attributes?

notsofossil - Yes, CD-ROM is in device manager. Phil - That would work to get Win98 on the HDD, but if I still can't get to my CD not much use. Might be worth a try though. Jiao - No conflicts in device manager. DOS then Win 98 may also be worth a try.

I am restoring/rebuilding a P3 based system and I need your expertise. My optical drive is temperamental during Win 98 install. Win 98 boot floppy reads CD-ROM fine and I install Win 98. Get through to the initial live OS boot where hardware is installed and it can't read the Win 98 CD. Clicked …

Quite a long read this thread but I have learnt much; thank you for your insights. Modern PSUs can be used with vintage hardware. The overall wattage is less important than the specific ampage of voltage rails (or rather, the overall wattage is a misnomer). Modern PSUs have lower ampage +3.3V / +5V …
