NOT Oregon Trail. I was laughing because I thought you were trying to be funny by guessing that.

For some odd reason, Windows 95C on my Packard Bell Pack-Mate 28 Plus under the performance tab when I right-click on My Computer it shows the following: Compatibility mode paging reduces overall system performance. Drive C: using MS-DOS compatibility mode file system. Here's my... config.sys on …

I put a Netflix DVD out in the mailbox, and raised the little flag on the mailbox. Double-retro!

A winner is you! It's a fantastic game, and it's got better graphics than anyone could ever imagine. Actually, the graphics are EXACTLY as good as you can imagine! I pictured it being very austere and cold, like 2001: A Space Oddysey , and I didn't even think about how things looked aboveground. …

I whiled away many, many hours on this game back in '83-'84 on a Commodore 64, myself. Then later I played on a 286 laptop while a TSR would play .MOD files.

I did a quick google and found something that talked about frame type Setting the frame type to 802.2 should do it; it had to be done on Win2K/WinXP systems to play nice with Novell Netware over IPX/SPX. (By XP, it seemed that including IPX/SPX was done as a cruel prank, or by way of nudging people …

Have a Sound Blaster Pro 2.0 CT1600 on the way now. Got is for a really good price considering what they have been going for for a long time now. I might still have one new in box... I need to check soon. I have an ASP and an SB16 with a socket for one, as well... Maybe I'm sitting on a gold mine!

Where on earth did you find that TISXL2-66? I've been looking for one myself, and I guess maybe eBay alone doesn't cut it.

PCI devices can share IRQs with each other, but not with an ISA device. You should try memtest86 to rule out bad RAM. Also, check that your voltages aren't sagging under load-- it could be a power supply issue. It's also a good idea to take a close look at all the capacitors on the motherboard. I've …

To gloss over it quite a bit, Windows accelerators are geared toward the graphics API of Windows, often using bitmap caching and screen-to-screen bitblock transfers. This works great for Win3.x, but is at a disadvantage against framebuffer cards in DOS. In most cases, the faster a Windows …
