Win98 1gb Ram

[Ophelia Gurin]

3dmark03is suppose to work in win98, but when trying to start it says that si3.dll file expects newer version of windows.

I have seen so many people posting 3dmark03 results in win98 here in the forum, so I have no idea why it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

I installed Windows 98 in QEMU. I want to run networking in user mode. I start it with qemu-system-i386 win98.img -m 256 -soundhw sb16 so it should be using default network hardware and probably working. In Network adapters section of Device manager I see only "Telephone adapter" (not sure about translation), no other NIC. I think that's the problem, anyway here are other details: I tried setting the IP address manually to 10.0.2.16, nothing changed in output of ipconfig /all. ping 10.0.2.2 reports destination host unreachable. ipconfig /all reports only one interface, Ethernet adapter, its description is "PPP Adapter".

Windows 98 likely can't detect the Plug&Play BIOS. To work around this, configure your windows for direct hardware access. To do so, go to Device Manager, locate the Plug&Play Bios with the yellow exclamation mark, Properties, Update Driver, Select Location, List all Devices, then select "PCI Bus".

RE: IRQ Conflicts in Win98 alex304 (IS/IT--Management)9 Apr 01 10:01One other thing you might want to try is disabling PNP in the BIOS.

Alex RE: IRQ Conflicts in Win98 htin11 (Programmer)9 Apr 01 10:58HI,

I found out this is the best solution...for example you have your computer and you open up your computer, check the cards where they are placed usually motherboard have 4 PCi slots, you can suffle them around....remember never put another PCI card next to the video card. That's one way...i found out by changing the order of the cards place in PCI slots, it sometimes changes the IRQs in the OS. You can also make IRQ 10 to Legacy in the BIOS. That way the cards will have to look for other IRQs. Sometimes this helps too. Also if the cards PCI or ISA? or is it all onboard?

I hope this helps.

Hui RE: IRQ Conflicts in Win98 ShaithisDanoveur (MIS)10 Apr 01 00:39Step 1: Turn off the computer.

Step 2: Open the case.

Step 3: Re-arrange the cards.

Step 4: Close the case.

Step 5: Enter BIOS setup after you turn on the computer.

Step 6: Disable PNP OS support, force ESCD update enable.

Save and reboot.

Step 7: After you reboot look for the ESCD update msg - after it's updated, reboot and go BACK into BIOS.

Step 8: Re-enable PNP OS support, update ESCD AGAIN. (btw, don't use PNP OS support if you're running Win2K and a SBLive product - they don't like it). Save and reboot again.

Step 9: After the box has been rebooted, and Windows loads, check your IRQ settings. IF the problem still exists, you can turn off PCI 2.1 support in Bios, which should further prevent the IRQ sharing. Finally, you can disable PNP support entirely and manually assign IRQ's to the slots. Be forewarned that this severely limits you and can be a rather trying task.

Step 10: If you STILL have the problem at this point, go to your garage, grab the largest hammer you can find...

RE: IRQ Conflicts in Win98 vagrant (TechnicalUser)(OP)11 Apr 01 14:15Thanks to all that replied,

It took a combination of things to make this work, the most significant I believe was to increase the RAM from 32MB to 64MB. I still have everything trying to stuff itself in IRQ 10 (IRQ 9 is empty) I changed slots, changed cards, tried to reserve IRQ10, Tried turning off PCI steering, Tried uninstalling everything in win98 and reinstalling. I even tried to take a card that I know likes IRQ11 and installed it, it went to IRQ 10 also.

Again Thanks for the quick replies RE: IRQ Conflicts in Win98 CaptainD (Programmer)14 Apr 01 22:49I've found that if I start out with the Video card only, (I also installed the sound card with the Video card) let win9X install that, install the NIC or Modem, win9X will assign the next free IRQ then the last card. Worked for me on two different setups. (Some older NICs require a specific IRQ but newer ones I've found did not) googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1406030581151-2'); ); Red Flag This PostPlease let us know here why this post is inappropriate.

Hi,

a little bit off topic,

but has anybody here in the forum has been able to install Win98SE with all drivers on a IBM ThinkPad T43 laptop with discrete graphic card x300?

If yes, I think this would be the only notebook,

where everything works from win98 to Win10^^

Not that specific laptop. Since that Laptop contains a Pentium-M it should work with 98SE. I performed the same with a VAIO laptop with Pentium-M and got DOS, 98SE, 2000, XP, Window Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 Beta all working on it. Never did Windows 10 as it was at the time of Windows 8 Beta was the newest and Windows 9 was still a possible version #.

What is the ATI Mobility Radeon X300 Benchmark performance in 3DMark?

Do any 98SE games work with it properly?

Try Quake 3 Demo should be a good test.

-16222/Quake3-Arena-Demo

Browser support try Opera v10 should work. Not sure about modern websites if they will error.

But this website should work with it using a very dated html code.

Can you attach all Video, Sound, Lan drivers you used to first post?

[How to] Install Win98 onto a ThinkPad T43

Maybe more people will be interested in ThinkPad for 98!

I liked the older ThinkPad with the serial, parallel, and floppy drive.

Which 3DMark version are you using?

2001 or 2003?

Try 3DMark 2003 and install DX9.0c and retest and see if scores might increase.

I think we can try to boost it if you can find a ThinkPad with this GPU.

Mobility Radeon 9800

It has 5 times the bandwidth of the X300. I wonder how much better the score would be?

Yesssssa, I got it.

Now, the graphik card Geforce go 7900 GS works under win98se.

13 years ago I tried a lot but have had no success with this. Seems, like I get a little bit better^^.

First I have to install Internet Browser ie6 and then Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 for win98.

And voila here it is, full win98se on the Toshiba Satego P100-490,

now also a notebook with everything from Win98 to win10

Dietmar

EDIT: All works but no sound. I need driver for Win98SE Conexant VEN_14F1&DEV_5045

it is the chip CX20549 .

Even I looked everywhere, it seems, that there is no driver for win98 for this sound card.

Hm, what can be done to have sound with this notebook? There are USB sound cards and also pcmcia sound cards,

but they will work only with external speakers.

@infuscomus

You need to have a connection via USB, then this soundcard works great.

Settlers 2 is a DOS game.

In next days I try a PCMCIA soundcard also.

They are not easy to get today

Dietmar

EDIT: It is the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook PCMCIA card,

which has drivers for Win98SE and I think also for pur Dos.

This is Nice!

7900 GS working?

Can you try 98 First Edition no other updates, no IE6.0 and no .NET v1.1 Framework installed.

Want to see if 98FE clean can see 7900GS working.

If 98FE working try 95B after.

This is integrated laptop graphics?

Sound card for laptop best to use USB sound card. Less headache. Use PCMCIA slot and try to find USB 2.0 card for 2-4 USB ports instead. Then can hook up external USB keyboard, USB mouse and maybe one flash drive.

Has anybody had any luck running Windows 98 as a VM on a Windows 10 machine?

I have not had luck getting a working install on VMware Workstation Pro 15.x

Or Oracle VM Virtual Box.

I think I have......I'm not currently near my machine to check if it is win98 or Win95 or WinXp, but I do run Lightmanager versions 1.5 and up just fine and I think Im running Win98. Getting A drive access and access to Win10 took some fiddling. I never tried connecting to a CMEi to see if network works. When I'm by my machine I will look at how I set up the VM. I believe I did tweak memory sizes around for it to work.

Thanks!

I really need the Win98 environment. I use Win 7 32bit on VMware for all my Light Manager needs. I need to go back to the DOS/Windows combination to deal with SLTA/2 (Requires both DOS AND some old-ass windows. I'm not even sure it will work, but I would like to retire a very old Dell laptop that I use for Sensor classic configs.
