Re: [Win98SE] Drives are in MS-DOS compatibility mode, but why?

config.sys & autoexec.bat are empty because I only run Windows and I don't have 32BitDiskAccess option in my system.ini.

Unfortunately, this solution didn't work in my case.
[Win98SE] Drives are in MS-DOS compatibility mode, but why?
Posted on 2023-07-28, 09:00
Hello everyone. Windows 98SE shows me that my disk drives are in MS-DOS compatibility mode, even though I don't see any errors or conflicts in the device manager. I have a 120GB SATA SSD, 80GB PATA HDD and DVD-ROM in the system. The SATA patch and disk controller drivers are installed so I don't …

Hi. A few months ago I had the urge to assemble a retro gaming PC for Windows 9x/DOS. I wanted to build a fast, uncompromising and trouble-free system in which everything would run at full speed. I also didn't want to spend any big money on it, so I was bidding on components worth a maximum of $10 …

I bet that the driver cannot handle more than 256mb of ram. Without a patch or some configuration change, I'm sure I won't be able to run this card under Win9x. The worst thing is that under Win9x this card would be God but under Windows XP it's just weak or average at best.

Sorry... I missed that (PCIe card). It's device manager that informs you of issues with hardware. If it's fine (no yellow marks anywhere), it shouldn't show a settings/hardware error ? Q : Can you change desktop resolution (or bit depth) ? There are no conflicts and I can't change the resolution.

I can't change the AGP aperture size because it's a PCI-E card. Windows doesn't detect any memory conflicts either. I know Win9x doesn't need 512MB of graphics memory, but this card came up for auction so I bought it. If I had a choice, I'd take the 256MB version. 😉

I haven't checked this patch for Nvidia cards but it seems to me that it won't work because it modifies the Nvidia driver settings, not the system.
Windows 98 doesn't like my graphics card

Hello everyone. I recently bought a great graphics card that I wanted to use in Windows 98. It's a Radeon X800 GTO 512MB RAM from Sapphire. Unfortunately, after the correct recognition of the card and installation of the drivers, Windows always shows an error window after restarting (see picture …

Does anyone know if it is possible to reduce the amount of card memory that is seen by the system by modifying the BIOS?

I recently bought a Radeon X800GTO PCI-E with 512MB RAM and I have a problem with the drivers under Windows 98. The card is recognized, the driver is installed, but after restarting the system, the card error pops up. I'm using the standard version 6.2 of the driver, which has worked fine with my …

Despite everything, I hope that SBEMU will be refined in the future and will be able to run Windows 98 with driver loaded. Wait could you explain why are you trying to run SBEMU in Win98? There are Win98 drivers for SB Live. And SB Live is also supported by SBEMU in DOS. It’s one or the other. What …

I'm going to assemble the fastest possible Windows 98SE computer with a compatible graphics and sound card and I have a question for you. Will Windows 98 work with Asus P8H67-M EVO/PRO Socket 1155? This motherboard has ATA 133 and PCI slots, so I think there's a chance.

From time to time I come across very cheap graphics cards at auctions marked as 'Dell E-G012-05-2436 Ati Radeon X600 Pro 256MB Dms59 PCi-e'. Are these cards full Radeon X600s or some castrated Dell OEMs?

I've had many Windows 98 machines but only those with nvidia chipsets had this problem. It must be some hardware incompatibility. I added an USB card and there is no problem with longer loading of the system.

It's not the keyboard's fault because I'm using PS/2. I've also checked all the settings in the BIOS and it didn't help. Maybe Microsoft released a patch to fix this situation?

I don't really need it but sometimes I forget about it and then I have to wait a long time for Windows to load.

No, it only happens when the flash drive is plugged in. The same thing happens with another board with the nforce chipset.
