Now I obviously know that Steam itself does not work on Windows 98, not since 2007. However, there are games that originally came out for windows 9x (Half-Life, Team Fortress Classic, Counter Strike, etc.) that can be bought on Steam. Is there anyway to play those games that are bought on steam on …

All the other software and games that uses midi are working fine, especially Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. Its those Apogee games that have no sound, but the music still plays. As I said before, I did not have this issue under Windows 95. There is no errors pertaining to the sound card in the device …

I dont think its a unicode problem since kernelex installs unicode with it. The error messages I get when attempting to run the latest version of MAME with kernelex are the link to missing export or import and the device attached to system not functioning errors.

Hello, I bought the Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold ISA card a month ago. My computer is a Dell XPS T500 with 1Ghz processor and 512MB of RAM. Under Windows 95, the AWE64 performs flawlessly, with excellent sound. But on Windows 98, it is a different story. On several Apogee games like Monster Bash and …

The t500 has three RAM slots. I have two 256 MB sticks and one 128 stick. I decided to remove the 128 MB stick. The computer boots up normally now, concluding that the problem definitely has to do with memory above 512 MB of RAM, even with the unofficial service pack.

So I recently bought a Dell Dimension XPS T500 running Windows 98 and I also bought a SL4BS 1GHZ slot 1 CPU. When I inserted the new CPU into the slot, the computer refuses to boot, no display. So I reinserted the old CPU and it boots normally. What seems to be the problem? Incompatibility?
