Make sure you are using either DVI or displayport. Boot into vga mode and set a low resolution like 800x600 with 60hz See if you can boot into Windows. If you are using a gsync or freesync monitor that has a high maximum refreshrate then install and use refreshlock to limit your max refreshrate to …

Having a lot of issues ( well really one issue) and i'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm trying to get my 970 to work under XP following this guide. https://mattpilz.com/windows-xp-drivers-nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-980-980-ti-titan-x/ . I've tried it with both 368.81 (which is the newest XP drivers …

Hope you have better luck with the new board. I imagine the legacy support tends to vary a lot between different UEFI boards. For my WinXP box I'm intentionally running a legacy BIOS Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 which handles WinXP very well with my overclocked FX-8320 (with one core per module disabled …

Have you tested all the different display outputs? Perhaps DVI would play better with the legacy compatibility modes of the UEFI? I tired every output, GPU would not output the BIOS. I ended up running a HDMI cable from the onboard HDMI to the monitor. But I had other issues with the mobo, getting …

Really struggling with getting my Win10/XP dual boot machine up and running. Have a 2600k, ASUS P8Z77-V LK, and a Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 Dual-X. No matter the settings I try to use in the UEFI I cannot get the motherboards BIOS to display through the 7970. The dream is to have a SSD with Win 10 …

Hey guys, putting the finishing touches on my dual boot 10/XP machine. Just wanted to ask if it was recommended to use Daniel_K's drivers for both 10 and XP or to use Daniel_K's for XP and newest official for 10? Or vice versa? My biggest concern outside of general stability is for EAX to work as …

GRUB or another boot loader should be able to do it. Personally, I just install them on separate hard drives and switch the boot priority in the bios. Would that really work? If I install XP to a drive, yank it, then install 10 to another. Plug them all in at the same time (plus a third shared …

For dual booting XP and 7 or 10, you will want the BIOS in legacy/BIOS and NOT in UEFI mode. If the BIOS has the SATA option set to RAID, you will most likely need drivers to do the XP install. From what I am finding, it should just work if you install XP and then 7. I would, at the very least have …

There are no official A3D drivers for windows XP. There is an unofficial driver but I am not sure how many features it supports. Yes, the X-Fi titanium was one of the last cards to do it. It stop being supported in windows vista. I'm saving the A3D stuff for when I get around to a 98 machine. I …

You can install windows XP on almost any hardware. If you want a machine that can comfortably run windows 10 and windows XP you have lots of options. For sound cards, that really isn't a reason not to use an X-Fi card. The X-Fi extreme music or the SB0770 cards are cheap and easy to find and have …

I disagree, have WinXP installed on the machine right now and web browsing is awful and I used quite a few different browers. Kind of irrelevant if I'm honest, it's so easy to dual boot to get general purpose computing working easily. It's what i'm doing. When I move and get more space I plan to …

For the first part, no. For the second, you don't need Windows 10 for web browsing and you shouldn't use it on a retro machine. I disagree, have WinXP installed on the machine right now and web browsing is awful and I used quite a few different browers. Kind of irrelevant if I'm honest, it's so …

Finally getting together the parts for a WinXP machine for the games that don't play nice with Win10. Finding it kinda hard to track down sound card information. I really want an authentic EAX and A3D experience under WinXP. I know some sound cards kinda emulate it but I'd rather have the real deal …

Thanks for the reply, gonna go for it then. I also plan to run a 1920 by 1200 monitor since alot of the games I wanna play will do 1600x1200 out of the box. Hoping to have enough horse power to also record gameplay. Also plan to use this machine for burning cd/DVD for retro consoles or whatever.

Looking at a Dell OptiPlex 7010 on ebay, has a Intel i5-3470 in it. I'm fairly sure it's gonna have a pcie slot for a graphics card and a regular pci slot for retro sound cards. This would be ideal for what I want to do, the question is will I be able to get WinXP drivers for it? For a over koll …

I have, I gotta say i'm still a bit lost. Was thinking of paying the 30 bucks for Creative Labs emulation solution

Have a bunch of older games from my childhood i'm going back to replay, with DgVoodoo most of them just work and look great. My only issue is EAX support. I'm using onboard sound on my Asus Z270g Mobo and I know I gotta install OpenAl and Alchemy which I did but whatever file/reg edit to make …
