Hey, I'm looking at my friend's Gateway P133 and it looks like a good one to upgrade. The case is ATX, and the hard drive is a new 20 gig, but the power supply is proprietary (shape only, connector is standard). If I could, I'd like to find a new motherboard and cpu that would work with it...

Btw, it was three different ISA sound cards, not one. An Awe 32, a SB 16 PnP, and a really old SB 16 non-PnP. And the cd worked fine in another computer just a day before.

It does work without the sound card. It also works with the sound card as long as no sounds are played. I was removing other devices to try to eliminate conflicts that could have been causing the problem. Sorry that I didn't specify this earlier. :)

Update: I've tried a PCI video card. Nothing. Funny thing though, now instead of locking after a half second, it will actually play the Windows chime sound 1.5 times through. Please help.

I'd first like you all to disregard the comments of the self-hating Americans in this thread. They are part of a growing movement of Americans who listen to the media's negative portrayal of the USA and try to distance themselves from the problem in a cowardly and ineffective way. Enough of...

Hello, I've got an HP Vectra Pentium Pro system here. It's got the Intel FX set, PPro 200, 128 megs of simms, S3 5446 (i think) on board video, Sound Blaster 16 PnP ISA, and a 3Com ISA NIC. Everything works fine under 98, but installing the sound card under 2k locks the computer as soon as it...

Oh my god, I'm so sorry. From a moral standpoint I would say you absolutely need to replace that motherboard! PC Chips is a company that will forever be ingrained in my mind as the most pathetic company ever! If you can only get a new mobo or a new video card, then go with an MSI KM133M...

Your best bet is neither Windows 98 SE, Windows 95 osr2, or Windows 98 Lite. Just install Windows 98 SE, install Tweakui, and disable explorer extensions. Except for saving a little hard drive space, that does 90% of what Windows 98 Lite does (in terms of speed and memory). Later.

On your first question, I'll need much more information. Any error messages? It looks to me like you're booting off a floppy if it dumps you at A:. Even if you ran into an error it would dump you at C:. Tell me what you're doing. On your second question: The PCI sound that it's finding is...

Unfortunately I tried that too. Releasing and renewing results in an error that I think says error accessing device. That would make it sound like a driver issue, but I wouldn't think 3Com cards would have problems like that. The DHCP server on my network should automatically assign the same...

I've got my machine set up to dual boot between Windows 98SE and Windows 2k professional, but the networking will only work on one side at a time. For example, if it is working in 2k and I reboot into 98 the networking will not work there. If I reboot back to 2k it will work fine again. So if...

The system uses a K7T Pro2 A motherboard, 256megs of generic PC133 cls3 ram, IBM 7200hd, GeForce 256 DDR, and a thunderbird 1gig. Nothing is overclocking, nothing has been or is planned to be overclocked (it's not mine). The problem is that sometimes (it seems more likely to happen after it...

I installed W2K on my KT7 with the hd on the HPT controller and it ran fine. Is it different when you're running the drives in RAID mode? I wouldn't think so... Anyways, when you install W2K, boot from the cd then wait until it says "Press F6 to install additional devices...", press...

The Radeon 166 isn't a whole lot faster than the Geforce 256 DDR and the Geforce is less troublesome in general, so I would go with it. Plus, at only $99 (www.mwave.com, Creative Annihilator Pro) it's an incredible bargain. Geforce 256 DDR gets my vote.

Save yourself the pain. Jaton is horrible company. Spare yourself! Why bother with it anyways? Go to www.mwave.com (very trust worthy retailer) and pick up a Gigabyte Geforce 2 MX 32meg for $89.00 with reasonable shipping prices. It will probably be cheaper than Microbarn in the end. John
