I finally got a reply from AVerMedia on the e-mail I sent them days ago: "Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting AverMedia Technical Support Regarding the issue you reported, we believe it is a compatible issue with your converter and GL510E. There are too many brands and models of converters in …

Exactly, that's what I said when I pasted the supported inputs and outputs written on the box. However, it doesn't seem to be this the problem, because: A) It does the exact same thing with component when I plug in my PS2 or Nintendo WII: Black screen on preview and perfectly working on any HDMI …

Whew, took you guys quite a bit to reply, eh ? By the way, here are both VGA and Component (because I also have the same problem with component, I can't record my PS2, for example for this issue, BUT I can hear sounds... a bit distorted but I hear them) input and HDMI outputs of my converter: I read …

Hello, I posted in the VGA Capture thread some days ago but didn't receive any reply yet, so I'm making a new entire thread about it. I bought the AVerMedia Live Gamer HD Lite PCI-E capture card for my streaming and recording needings, it works perfectly when I record my PS3 footage, but... I got a …

I just bought an AverMedia Live Gamer HD Lite and a component/VGA to HDMI converter to go with it. I connected everything as supposed to be: HDMI IN in the capture card to HDMI OUT on the converter and VGA IN in the converter to the VGA port on the PC I'm testing this on. I then fired up RECentral …

I'm pretty sure my Celeron "rig" has the temperature reading sensor because I could see the CPU temp in the BIOS (roughly 26°C on boot). The Windows 98 PC runs on an AMD Athlon 6400 (I think), I know it's overkill for 98 and it's more likely an XP build (in fact I dual boot with XP just fine), but I …

I've always been concerned about my hardware temperatures, on any computer I ever built I always "paranoically" constantly checked the temperatures of CPU and GPU as well as other components until they are always stable and never jump to crazy numbers (the last time I assembled an i7-4790k on an …

Yeah the cutscenes and everything is perfect, it just randomly crashed, but I managed to solve it. Using clawadv.exe on the CD for advanced settings, I disabled direct video access and now it doesn't crash anymore. Apparently this direct video access works with the S3 Virge because it didn't crash, …

Since I switched from my S3 Virge to the more powerful, built-in nVidia Aladdin TNT2, Captain Claw crashes to desktop at various points of gameplay and mostly always in the same spots. I even tried to reinstall it, it is a Windows 95 and 98 game from 1997 and it's the only 2D game that crashes that …

I successfully installed Windows 95 on the second partition. I deleted the "Boot Manager" partition that OS/2 created back then and I'm using XFdisk as boot manager. Then I added an entry for MS-DOS 6.22 for the Partition 1 and Windows 95 for the partition 2. I then set the fresh Partition 2 (which …

I partitioned them like that with XFdisk: http://i.imgur.com/HkIO5rv.jpg (it's very big if I try to [IMG] it for some reason) Did I mess it up ? I never used this manager and it was a bit confusing. Now the PC hangs at "found boot on IDE-0... ok"

For me XFDISK works here. It has also a Bootmanger build in. Step1: I create a 2GB FAT16 Partition for Dos/Win3.11 Step2: then a 2 GB Fat16 Data Partition (seen from Dos/Win3.11 and Win95) Step3: and the Rest of the HDD is for a 5 GB Win95 Partion. HDD has around 9 GB size. XFDisk bootmanager …

1. Install DOS. 2. Use a Linux boot disk and run disk. 3. Use p and note the partition type. 4. Use t and change the partition type to 82. 5. Remove the active flag from partition. 6. Use w to write partition table. 7. Reboot and install Windows (it won't try to use partition 1). 8. Use the Linux …

Once I get Windows 95/98 running in dual boot on that very PC, I'll try from Windows (with all the drivers and stuff) if it gets better. Because I remember that when I was little and I had that PC as my main I could play Blood and Redneck Rampage quite smoothly, but I used it on Windows back then.

Does your motherboard use an integrated graphics card and if so are you using it? Yes, I'm using the integrated graphics: TNT2 24MB Can't help you with the actual problem, but as a reference, Blood runs butter smooth up to 1024x768 on my Coppermine PIII 1.1 GHz rig, even without mtrrlfbe. In …

Hello, I'm struggling on how I could install Windows 95 or 98 (whatever of the two) on the "D" partition of the hardisk instead of "C". I try to explain better: I installed MS-DOS 6.22 on that hardisk and it currently is inside the "C" partition, I also installed Windows 3.11 and when I do the "win" …
