I just watched that clip and that's normal windows 10 behavior. I can reproduce the exact same thing with my PC and right now I'm using two screens and bluetooth headphones.

I fully agree with Chinny this is a solid late 90s gaming rig. Have you had a chance to play any games or benchmarks yet? I haven't a chance to do much except get the drivers installed so far, I'll likely do some benchmark and stability testing this weekend. Very nice setup. A "retro-sleeper", …

Good honest 9x build. Do you also use it for dos gaming as the AWE and Mx440 are pretty good here as well? Your pretty full at the moment but once you swap out the CF card bracket I'd also add a better soundcard for Win9x Either Creative card with EAX support or Vortex 2 for A3D 2.0 depending on …
Re: How can I get Microsoft Plus themes without reinstalling Win98?
Posted on 2020-11-04, 22:51
I believe if you go into Add/Remove programs, the second tab on that should be related to installed windows features and you can install it from there. This. I just booted up my 98SE machine and on the windows features tab you can put a check beside desktop themes and it'll install them after you …

What exactly is the brand and model number of the stick? Lots of USB 3 memory sticks are dog ass slow for writing. I have a WD Easystore 128GB stick that only writes at 30-40MB/sec but the read speed holds steady at 125MB/sec. I also have a Sandisk Cruzer Glide 128 that writes at 50-60MB/sec and …

Ordered an Acorp Slot 1 440BX AT motherboard on ebay a few weeks ago and it came today. I'm probably going to replace my K6-2 motherboard and CPU with this and a slot 1 P3. I have never used (or even seen in person) any Acorp products before, I downloaded a pdf manual for this board and it helpfully …

This one stings because the item left my possession working (and was sold as such) and is now being returned in supposedly non-working/degraded condition. So it's looking like I'm out not only the money paid for the item + shipping (and added insurance) + return shipping. Worst of all, I now will …

AT power supplies are bombs that are waiting to go off, so I never use them. I use new ATX power supplies with everything, for the boards without an ATX power connector I use an adapter. I don't have anything that needs -5V so I don't have any of the adapters that provide that but they are out there …

Nice mobo's ! All I found this weekend was some 1.44Mb floppy disks. Box of 50 for $6.50 (was half off yellow tag price). Odd thing is the side label says 1995 and 7/95-S/H, wonder if they are that old or TDK just kept using same box style for a long time.... Anyway, you can not have too much media …

Upgraded the storage today, with all the old games I've installed lately I was down to about 2gb free! The bonus is this new 128GB compactflash card is faster too, games load VERY quickly now. Also I found a decent Pentium 3 wallpaper I've been using and I've attached that too.
