Greetings folks

Where can i get drivers for an R7 240 to work in windows 98

Sorry but as far as I know you can not get windows 98 drivers for the R7 240. AMD does not support that card on that version of Windows.

No manufacturer will support drivers of new products for such old Windows version anymore.
It does not worth the effort anymore for the manufacturer.

You must understand and move on.

If this is an old computer with Windows 98 and you have purchased the R7 240 thinking you could get it to work I must say you are out of luck. I'd suggest getting a light weight version of Linux and installing it as a replacement for Windows 98, then your new graphics card will work.

I want to run far cry on the machine and it doesnt run properly on windows. I have a number of games that wont run in compatibility mode. Some people seem to be able to get it work but not me. A lot of older games struggle. The ideal would be XP but I keep contacting microsoft and they wont sell me a licence. Everywhere i have looked, the XP licences that are so sale look dodgy.

You could try running windows 98 in a virtual machine such as virtual box and installing your game on the Windows 98 VM.

Thanks for that. I think I tried that with windows 95 on VMware but i struggled to get anything working at all on that. I might give it a shot. Ty.
