Re: ITX and Win98

Hey, just curious, where did you pick up that MOBO? Me? Ebay. It was around $25 shipped. Thanks! And have you had any stability issues with it at all? No BSOD? I'm curious because I'm working on a similar build and have had some significant stability issues, albeit with a different MOBO. Did you …

PSU Question

Card SATA HD 512MB RAM My question is this. I'm looking at some mini-ITX cases that have an integrated PSU, for example the …

Re: VIA S3 Win98 problems

So I ended up installing a PCI graphics card (which has shutdown issues and is another story). But, after installing the driver from the VIA driver archive, I did find the yellow icon over the VIA/S3 display adapter, indicating some sort of conflict. That conflict, I assume, is preventing the …

Re: VIA S3 Win98 problems

Usually driver sets something like 59Hz refresh rate on screen which was fine on CRT screens, but LCD won't work. Thats why safe mode and vga modes are working - these are running at 60Hz. Some LCD's had warning about unsupported resolution before going black.....Try to use vga mode, go into …

Re: VIA S3 Win98 problems

To me it sounds like the video memory might be overwritten somehow by the OS upon loading the driver (hence, right after the Win98 splash screen). To that end, you could disable "Direct Frame Buffer" if it isn't already, as that seems to control whether or not the CPU can directly write to video …

Re: VIA S3 Win98 problems

I have a Video RAM cacheable setting in my BIOS. I've tried both enabled and disabled and get the same result. Now i don't seem to be able to remove the acer monitor in device manager without it redetecting it automatically on each reboot. Any way to clear a particular tmp or inf file to prevent …

Re: VIA S3 Win98 problems

I can grab some pictures this evening. I'm using an Acer X163W but I also have a Monoprice VGA to Component adapter connected to my 42" Panasonic TV. I've isolated the VGA converter from the 16" display to confirm the issue is not incompatibility with the converter. I haven't intentionally changed …

Re: VIA S3 Win98 problems

Thanks for the welcome, and the reply. This seems like an extremely knowledgeable group of folks. It boots into safe mode fine. It will also boot with the default VGA driver installed. I did install the drivers you reference above. It almost seems like its a refresh rate issue because, depending on …

VIA S3 Win98 problems

I've been working on a build to get Win98 up and running on this MOBO: https://www.jetwaycomputer.com/J7F4.html I got through some initial hiccups and everything seems to be working well except for the integrated graphics. I've installed the correct drivers but every time it boots in normal mode it …
