Thanks for the help everyone, I really appreciate it! Especially those of you that took the time to make a long post. I have definitely learned a few things. I built my GLIDE PC about 8 years ago. It was my first legacy PC build, so I had no idea what I was doing. I tossed that SB Pro 2.0 in there …

I already have a Win 98 machine with an Intel SE440BX-2, Voodoo3 3000, and a SoundBlaster Pro 2.0. I recently came into a lot of old hardware, and I really want to start another 98 build, so I can set up a LAN in my basement and have friends over. One thing about my old machine, is that the …

Kind of a long shot here, but I kind of need a driver for this monitor. The manual says an installation CD was included, and also mentions a software called MagicTune. I cannot find the CD on ebay, and my google-fu has returned nothing. Thank you.

OK, little update. Opened up this GPU today. First thing I noticed, is that all the small screws that secure the GPU are missing. Looks like the card was opened in the past. I took it apart, cleaned it, and applied new thermal paste. All the caps look good. Cleaned the edge connector as well. No …

Well as you only have a PSU and cables, a motherboard, a CPU and cooler and a graphics card then you are going to have to swap something out to see what the problem is. Any video card would do, just to see if theres an output. I have a Voodoo 3, and 2080. I'll give those a shot and see if anything …

Did a little research at work tonight. Looks like the card originally came with a DVI to HDMI adapter in the box. This would mean my DVI/HDMI cables should work if the GPU is not broke, correct?

I wanted to test this today with an old LCD monitor that only has DVI and VGA ports. Turns out I don't have a dedicated DVI cable. I do live 5 min from Microcenter though. Would picking up a new DVI/DVI cable be worth trying on that old monitor? I also have my current gaming PC running a ROG Corsair …

I don't have your answer, but I am struggling with Screamer 2 as well. I am running on a Voodoo3 3000. My issue is that I get no sound from my Soundblaster Pro 2.0. If I try to detect it, the settings client crashes. I can eventually get sound detected by setting a soundblaster card that is not …

Update: I think I have the games running smoothly.
