i blew up my winxp installation by merely typing in my profile password (black screen with system registry corruption and all restore points mysteriously disappeared--no file system corruption whatsoever). given how fragile xp turned out to be i really don't have a desire to rebuild. the system is dual-booted with win98se so i'm just going to go with that.
i previously softmoded my radeon 9800se to unlock the pixel pipelines with the omega drivers, but i find none were ever released for win9x. at this late date i'm having difficulty finding any info on how to accomplish the softmod under win98se--if it's even possible. i'd be fine with manually editing a .sys file or loading a tool on every startup. i just need instructions on how to proceed. does anyone here remember this stuff? thanks.
