Is there a way to uninstall the nusb36 drivers? Do I need to, or do I just take the card out and install nusb36 again?

Also, add new hardware doesn't detect the devices plugged into the USB, under any settings I've tried if that helps.

Information about my computer: Pentium 133 MHz Windows 98 (Second Edition - it previously had windows 98, but I installed second edition in order to dry and get the drivers working. It was blue screening trying to install it with non-SE.) I bought this device: https://www.ebay.com/itm/234720224068 …

I can get data in but not out, using cd. I want to be able to get data out - might mess with adventure games studio for DOS or quickbasic for instance. I have a NEC USB PCI card on order hopefully I can get it working

If any of you are familiar with the hardware side of things, I need help with another problem - my floppy drive isn’t working and I’m not sure what the best way to transfer files off the computer without one. Need help with floppy drive not working and/or alternatives. Also USB Support?

Have a windows 98, not second edition, PC whose floppy drive stopped working. I had a tech replace it but it still would not work, even replacing the cable too. Pins seem fine on it. Won’t read floppies on A drive in DOS or Windows. But it does try to and lights up. I’m a noob when it comes to …

Ah it was me not deleting the range that was causing the issue. Thanks for your help! Should I consider upgrading to 2e? I’m just using the OS that was pre installed.

I understand that there are some other options I should use instead, like RAM? And memmaker keeps changing stuff I don’t want changed like taking my stuff off high and reverting to old himem.sys

Ah, now I’m at a problem, because Krondor is a game that I think requires EMS… but if I delete the NOEMS line, the upper memory isn’t available anymore

Switching from C:/DOS/HIMEM.SYS to C:/WINDOWS/HIMEM.SYS changed my free memory up to 633k, thanks for the suggestion

It’s a pentium yeah. Some of this was just me trying options in the autoexec and config, this along with memmaker was the best I could get. Forgive me for being a newbie but I don’t quite know what umbpci is - I did try designating himem as high though I can try finding another himem.sys also..

Well, right now I am booting directly into the command prompt. Just to clarify you want me to boot into windows safe mode to run this?

I can’t try the boot disk option cause my floppy drive don’t doesn’t work, but anyways I’m trying to learn about freeing DOS memory. I can’t seem to get more than 601k conventional memory free, while krondor requires 604k, I’ma little over 3k short. I’ve tried to load everything into upper memory, …

Gotcha, ok, so sounds like it is not like those NES Super Mario Bros speedrunning scenes where each result is precisely frame counted. In that case, if you are running Mode 13h 320x200 70Hz VGA games, I recommend getting a Diamond SpeedStar 24 ET4000AX which runs the mode at 70.464 hz (going on a …

I plan to speedrun point and click adventure games which tend to not be super precise, we use livesplit to estimate times, but use the video to be more accurate later. I’m not that experience of a speed runner. Typically games have conditions when to start and stop I.e. time starts when you do your …

Honestly I’m just considering recording the screen externally at this point, it’s kind of a frustrating situation to deal with.
