Hi there,
been reading for a while in this forum and could make use of some great tips regarding to old hardware. I recently built an AMD Athlon XP rig with a GeForce 6600GT/Radeon 9800 hooked up to a Samsung 931BF TFT with it's drivers installed and SB Live! 4670 in my Abit NF7-S Rev. 2.0.
Thanks to a topic I found here, I was even able to make SB Pro emulation work under Windows ME.
But my new problem is as follows: 3D-Games do work like they supposed to, but Dos-Windows are giving me only a black screen when the GeForce is in the system. I tried the latest FW from the nV website (has that nasty shutdown-issue) 77.xx and even FW 66.94. Still no luck. Putting the Radeon in makes even games like Orion Burger and the Riddle of the Master Lu work like a charm (despite the fact that you have to mess around with EMS and XMS-Stuff).
E: Orion and Lu do also work with the GeForce...
Is it just me or do you guys encounter the same issue when using the last GF with win9x support?
