Not to hijack this thread, but I was wondering the same about my W98 build. I am running a GeForce2 MX440 (64MB) and was debating between getting a Voodoo2 12MB card to run parallel, or whether my GF2 could effectively run a Glide wrapper. Thoughts? I know that the GF2 is a Directx 8 card, but I …

Hmmm have you tried replacing the 3V battery on the board? This is a cheap way to troubleshoot and is probably necessary anyway, at this point. Hope this helps!

Thank you for the suggestions! This PC actually does have an AGP slot, which surprised me. I was thinking of pairing something like a Geforce2 GTS (32MB) with a 12MB Voodoo PCI card. Would having a Voodoo card make sense in this setup? Seems that the primary card would be more than sufficient, but I …

Hi all! I was recently given a Compaq Presario 6310US and monitor for free, and I was considering transforming it into a Windows 98 gaming rig to play mostly 3DFX games from the era.

I have used Sound Galaxy Pro 16 II, Waverider 32 and Nova16 drivers, but with each install, I receive a "sound card not detected!!!" message. I am running pure DOS 6.22. Checking the config.sys and autoexec.bat, …

Thank you for your replies! The mouse ball and wheels are clean. I don't feel much resistance when rolling. I have noticed this slow movement in Ultima Underworld, Fate of Atlantis and Rex Nebular. This is a new build, so I haven't had a chance to try many more games. I will try running ctmouse this …

Hi all! I just completed a 486 build and am running pure MS-DOS 6.22. When playing point and click adventures and games like Ultima Underworld, my mouse scrolls extremely slowly and is basically worthless. I am using an old serial Microsoft mouse and mouse.com drivers. It has been so long since I …
