Note that I'm not including Win98SE unofficial service packs because they always gave me issues (for some reason they mess up the Active Desktop, so My computer can't show anything 90% of the time). I would be happy to find a vanilla compilation of all official Microsoft updates for Win98SE though. …

Is the bios chip socketed? If so, you might be able to flash a blank chip and go back to the defaults.

I have some cards that look like the backplate MIGHT work, but if you could provide some measurements, say from the edge of the pcb to the vga connector, we might be able to help you.

I think the "Lecturer" suspects he/she is using other peoples code, and that is why they asked for more functions, to see if he/she could add them. In other words, BUSTED!!!

I bought one of the 300 watt ones from newegg a while back (they no longer have them in stock), and it seems to work ok from the little I used it. I just used it to test some motherboards, and I may use it in a 486 machine I have. The date on the warranty sticker that they use to cover one of the …

I have installed 98SE on several systems without any major issues, but there is one that made me want to tear my hair out. (It turned out to be hardware related.) It was a system built with an asrock K7VT6 and some OCZ memory. Sometimes it worked fine and other times it would blue screen or reboot …

I recently bought a couple of HD 2900GT cards off of ebay for cheap. My intention was to set them up in crossfire to replace a couple of X1900 cards in an old socket 939 system. The problem is I cannot get crossfire mode to work. I have installed the cards in three different systems with XP, vista, …

That was a strange movie. I really did not understand it. They are looking for the origins of life only to find themselves in a room with a bed and dinner on the table. Kind of like a prison or mental hospital. ^IMHO that scene *perhaps* was about (self-)perception, time, space and beyond. In one …
