I have an MSI K9NU Neo AM2 motherboard with Nvidia M1697 chipset. I've always had a problem with it. Well, when a flash drive is connected, Windows 98SE loads ten times longer. I have all the latest drivers installed but the problem persists. Maybe you know a way to fix it?

As usual, I couldn't resist the low price and bought the MSI Geforce 7600GT for $4.5 with shipping and 2x1GB DDR2 1066MHz for the same price. I am very pleased because the result in 3DMark2000 increased by exactly 30,000 points compared to the Radeon X600 that I used so far. I'm trying to get the …

ASUS P5VD2-MX SE motherboard has a strange problem when booting into Windows 98SE. Well, when no devices (mouse, flash drive) are connected to the USB ports, the system starts without any problems. However, when a flash drive or a mouse is connected, this error is shown: https://iili.io/Hriw0Rn.jpg …

I used SBEMU because LIVEINIT only activated FM sound on this motherboard and the SB16 emulation just didn't work. The configuration program reported that DMA mode was not available.

Can you recommend a program for Windows 98 to capture changes in the registry, e.g. during game installation, which then allows you to export these changes to a *.REG file? I remember that 25 years ago I used such a program, but I can't remember its name today.
