Hello! I love retro builds, and I'm working on a Windows XP system with a microATX ASUS mobo. Right now it's an Emachines sleeper, but I'm not fond of the case's strange curvature and incompatible front card reader. Any ideas for a case that: - has two 5.25" drive bays and one 3.5" -...

Not Panda Helper, but Panda Dome (aka Panda Antivirus). It's supposed to have full compatibility with Windows XP SP3 as long as .NET 4 is installed on it. Here's the link: https://www.pandasecurity.com/en/homeusers/free-antivirus/

Got a frustrating if not slightly interesting problem: on XP SP3 with .NET 4.0 Full, Panda installed and ran fine for a bit. I then opened the game "Sid Meier's Civilization IV", and it ran some kind of initialization procedure involving python and xml things. After closing it, I found that...

I'm working on a Windows 98 retro build. Anyone know where I can get a deal on a used Voodoo 3 3000? I know they're in demand and hard to come by - any help's appreciated.

Hello! So I am considering upgrading an old HP Compaq 8200 Elite CMT with a Core i7 2600K, GTX 1060, and either 16 or 32 GB of DDR3-1333. Problem is, this particular system has a nonstandard 320w ATX psu with wrong dimensions and screw wells in the wrong places - which could be fine if not for...

Yeah, I flashed this bios a little while back as it's the latest version listed on the Asus support page. It was released in 2013(this board's really old), but it was never anymore than beta. Up to this point, though, it's worked good, so Idek what's going on.

Hey, sorry it took me so long(greatly appreciate your help btw). Just now tried booting without drives present and still nothing unfortunately. Could it possibly be because I'm running a beta bios? The next newest is stable and still newer than the GTX 285.

I believe I did, but I'm not sure. I'll try it later today and report back.

Hmm. My bios, while updated to the latest version, is the original Asus bios(if that's what you mean). I don't imagine I can safely flash another bios to the board, so I might be up the creek on this one. Is there anything else I can try? Or is it just unfixable incompatibility?

After checking, my BIOS version is 1301, released 3/25/13. This is a beta version according to Asus support, though it says it only fixes a boot problem with a raid card plugged in. The page also lists 1301 as released March 28th instead of 25th, though this might be a typo.

No Nvidia drivers, I uninstalled the AMD drivers(although I installed the Intel onboard right after). Should I try posting without any drivers? Or should I uninstall Intel and install Nvidia without the gpu?

I'm afraid I already did. A Radeon HD 5450 was run in this pc for a while with no issues. I apologize for not mentioning that.

I took the battery out, waited about five minutes, and put it back in. I also moved the Clear RTC jumper to 2-3 and back. Neither seemed to do anything.
