Okay, yeah was just throwing that bit about the CD cable out there just in case. Anyway, other than overwriting a previous driver install and rebooting, which I'll admit seems like a long shot, I don't know what else to suggest. Sorry, wish I could have been of more help.

Sorry to hear you're still having a problem. I had the same issue of no sound with my SB Live! when I installed some other drivers, but the drivers I posted fixed it. It might be worth mentioning that I didn't uninstall the first drivers, just installed the sblive2.zip ones on top of the previous …

Cool, glad you sorted out the games. I suppose no one will mind if the drivers are attached here. Give that a shot.

I recommend installing drivers from here as others tend to be somewhat hit or miss. No idea why the games are missing unless it's a modified OEM version or something like that.

Okay never mind, figured it out. Here's the fix in case anyone else runs into this. 1. Open regedit 2. Expand key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Wallpapers 3.

You need to add the - before height and -bpp before the color depth. Also, a Voodoo 2 can't do 32-bit color in 3D games, so you'll need to use 16-bit. -width 800 -height 600 -bpp 16

Actually, many old VGA and CPU articles (including benchmark images) are still available at Tom's Hardware Guide Russia. Just enter VGA Charts or CPU Comparison/Performance in the search box at the top of the page. (Note: That's the origin of the first image I posted above.) 😀

If it helps any, I found these through Google image search. I couldn't find the 2001 chart anymore, but saved it a few months ago. Obviously not as good as having the full articles, but better than nothing. :) Dunno if these were ones you archived, but figured I'd post them anyway in case anyone …

Sure no problem, glad to try and help. :) Yeah, 98SE can be a real pain sometimes to sort these things out.

Sorry to hear you're still having problems restarting. The only other thing I can suggest is to try using the driver and/or AudioHQ from here (mirror 2) if you aren't already and see if that solves the issue. That's the SB Live! driver I'm using in 98SE. I've never tried installing AudioHQ because …

Well, I only have AudioHQ installed in XP atm, but if I did install it in 98SE and encountered this problem, what I would try is right after installing it, if it asks to reboot (or not), don't reboot. Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and make sure the only things running are explorer and systray. Then go into …

Hmm, version 4.50 runs fine for me in XP using D3D mode (with mercury patch to correct the saving issue). I also get stuttering with nGlide though. Tried different voodoo2a.dll files, but that hasn't helped. NFS3 stuttered too with nGlide, but disabling v-sync in nvidia control panel fixed it. Not …

It could be a video driver issue. I've noticed this happens on some later nvidia drivers as well. You might want to try it with WineD3D and put -screenmode in the shortcut command line to select the resolution. Depending on which version of Incoming you have, it will either go up to 1024x768 ( …

Try the patch from here. Also make sure you don't have v-sync enabled or it may speed up and slow down every few seconds.
