DOS have some troubles in using more than one Primary partition. The HDD for DOS must be partitioned as 1 Primary partition (C:) and 1 Extended partition with all other Logical partitions. Partitioning with more than one Primary partitions (even if they're not Active) is not recommended due to DOS …

As far I known there was a some way to mount a FTP folder as a virtual drive. WinXP can do it via My Computer window, older version probably requiring some third-party software. and seems it is possible either with 3rd party software or inbuilt to IE5? No, even with Office 2000's Web Folders …

Ordinary oldschool pine rosin for soldering should be a good flux for beginner. It does not require cleaning after use and can indicate overheat. But do not put too much rosin in the place of soldering, otherwise the quality of the soldering will be poorly seen and it will be necessary to scrape the …

You may use a FTP server such as Small HTTP Server (it can operate as a HTTP, FTP, POP3, or SMTP server). It is free (at least, for CIS citizens, a free key is easy to google, and it is working with both russian and english languages). A FTP client is included in almost all TCP/IP stacks. Windows 98 …

You may try to connect the monitor to the KVM via DVI-I/A to VGA adapter, then the KVM will work in analog mode even with modern cards, not only with Voodoo. But why your KVM does not working with any kinds of input signals? Probably it is a simple "switchboard" which simply changes electrical …

That's a little overstating it. I've seen 8mb Win95 PCs have enough ram to play Doom and other similar 4-6mb requiring games with little performance penalty. I didn't have much memory problems with Quake on 16MB even with bumping -winmem up to 12 for the more ambitious mods Yes, I also have built a …

I'd say that Win98 gives you the following advantages: Better networking support (More supported NICs including WiFi, easier file sharing, better internet compatibility) FAT32 support which removes 2GB partition and 7.something GB total hard drive limit Some games and some sound cards actually …

I'm running NC 5.0 in Virtual PC 2007 running on i3-3220. There are no problems (unlike Windows 95 which is working very unstable without patches). NC is a simple program, it should not be affected by CPU speed.

Any other suggestions? 384 MB will be better for Win2k. 256 may be entirely consumed in Win2k at time of internet browsing of extracting some large archives. But for old games, MS Office, and some simple apps 256 should be enough. Win98 software uses <256MB too. Didn't want to go with a FX5200 (I …

I haven't experienced any troubles with NC 4/5/5.5 on any machines. No file corruption, no crashes at F3... It looks like a hardware problem or software incompatibility. Try to start DOS in safe mode (via F8 on "Starting MS-DOS..." label) and run NC Viewer again.

Have you tried this ? Also, make sure your Win95 is OSR2.5 Or 2.1, maybe? :blush: Doesn't matter. Both Win95 B and C (OSR 2.0/2.5) are installing without USB support. And both are requiring installation of the USB Supplement ("OSR 2.1") before any USB or AGP drivers. Then them becoming a OSR 2.1 …
