    Can't connect to Internet

    You should first get rid of the invalid drivers. Even though you uninstalled them they are still lurking in windows. Do a search from the start menu. Set the search directory to C:\WINDOWS, and in the field that says "In a word or phrase of the file:" Type 'RTL 8139'. It should find a couple of...

    Best PCI Express x1 Card for Win98/ME?

    Cascade III is.. I believe an Intel mobo. My PC is a MicronPC.com Millennia RS2110. Here is the motherboard specifications: http://www.mpcdrivers.com/apps/syscompeb68.html?ID=56&Categ=34 It's not Pentium III, in case you were wondering. Celeron 733mHz.

    Best PCI Express x1 Card for Win98/ME?

    Thanks. I know it is hard (nearly impossible) to find anything other than an AGP card that will run decent on 9x. I could just dedicate this computer to where its at and instead upgrade the crap out of my XP computer.

    My Gateway is saying Boot MGR missing? HELP!

    Bootmgr is the file that tells your computer how to boot into Windows. If you have another computer in the house, or a Windows XP CD, keep reading. If not, go to a friend's and keep reading. Either get the Windows XP official CD or download one online and burn it to another CD. Put it in your...

    Windows 98 Alternate Login Menu

    I had your same problem with not remembering what is was called. I did this on my Windows ME computer, because when I installed Windows ME I was like "What the heck? What happened to the box where you click your username and type the password?" Yeah anyway it was Microsoft Family Logon and...

    Windows 98 Alternate Login Menu

    Stop. I know exactly what this guy is talking about. It looks like this, right? Picture: http://img.microsoft.com/library/media/1033/technet/images/archive/win98/reskit/part3/wrk0z51.gif This was called Microsoft Family Logon. If you go to Control Panel, then Network Settings, in the field...

    can windows 95 support iso programs

    Jeff-J is correct. MagicISO and MagicDisk still support Windows 9x. It'll probably tell you a dll file is missing which you can probably copy from the Windows 98 cabs.

    Windows ME errors when I try to install on a real computer

    Sorry, I did not see until now you actually did mention your computer and it is from 2006. Computers began to get SATA as a standard around 2005. You are probably screwed unless you buy an IDE hard drive and CD-ROM. Or you could do it the harder way and slip the sata drivers onto the Windows ME...

    Windows ME errors when I try to install on a real computer

    I'm still using Windows ME to this day since about 2000. What are you trying to install it on? If you have a SATA CD-ROM drive, this isn't going to work. Windows 9x/ME only came with IDE drivers, so you can't install it on a SATA hard drive, especially not with a SATA cd-rom. You can't just put...

    Boot disk failure insert system disk and press enter

    Windows 95, 98, and ME CDs were not bootable. What you actually have to do is download a Win98 startup disk online (you know the thing that takes you to an MS-DOS prompt), and put it on a CD with the files from the 98 CD. This way you can boot to DOS and run setup from the prompt on the CD.

    USB Sound Card with MIDI for Win95?

    Hello, What version of Windows 95 do you have? If I'm correct, they didn't add USB support until OSR2 (also known as Windows 95 B). You should really consider just buying a MIDI adapter for the serial port on your laptop, and an interface to hook up to. From there you can use a midi cable from...

    Old Compaq Laptop Won't Boot From CD

    Moderator is correct. When I installed Windows ME I had to make a different CD with the startup disk information on it. What you can do is download a Windows 98 or ME startup disk online, then put the files on a CD along with the files from the Windows 98 CD. It'll take you to a DOS screen, and...

    Can't connect to Internet

    Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > And then the next is either Entertainment or System Tools, I forget > Welcome to Windows 98. When the Welcome to Windows 98 dialog appears, click Connect to the internet. It will take you to a wizard to set up internet connections. Make sure you select...

    Best PCI Express x1 Card for Win98/ME?

    Hello, I am currently running a Windows ME machine with 512 mb of ram. The onboard Intel graphics just aren't cutting it for games, and I would like to upgrade. I have looked at cards such as the NVIDIA Riva but they are either regular PCI or AGP. The only slot I have free is a PCI Express X1...
