Just to let everyone know the MSI PC54G2 wireless card works perfectly with 98SE. Though the software kinda sucks.

Ok, installing the patched seemed to allow the resolution to stay and allow me to change them on the fly and not have it go nuts. The 7600GS has 256 megs and I'm using a 128mb agp aperture. Maybe I should reduce it? Since this is a demo, it will only last ten minutes. Am I going to have to buy that patch? Thanks in advance. Oh and when I tried to boot into dos mode the first time, I selected it from the shutdown menu like in the good old days, except this time it gave me a windows protection error, just before it displayed the command prompt. Go figure

Thanks, I looked your link, but I don't think my problem is related to DVI, as this monitor is analog. More details about what happens: I installed the drivers, the installer said it couldn't find any nvidia cards on my system, well that's happened before so I just pointed windows hardware wizard to the directory and it found and installed the card. I reboot, and I'm in High color mode, woohoo right? Nope. The resolution is at 640x480. I go into display properties and drag the slider over to 1440x900, hit apply, and the screen just goes black. So I reboot the system, it tries to go into safemode but it won't, it just shuts the computer off. When I boot it up AGAIN, I select normal startup, it proceeds. Once into windows I get a message saying There is a problem with your display settings. The adapter typ is incorrect (umm no I've got the right one) or the current settings do not work with your hardware. Well they should, shouldn't they? After I click ok it gives me a display properties box. It shows the hardware is installed correctly and is reported as : Acer AL1916W on NVIDIA GeForce 7600GS. I can choose either 16 bit, 256 or high color. Then the whole cycle starts again. Is this a familiar problem? Or am I just incredibly...retarded. Oh I guess I should post the specs of my system.

Hey guys, it's amazing whats being done to keep 9x alive, and there is enough to keep me reading on this forum until I find another job. (**** economy). Anyways, I've installed 98SE on my p4 machine with 2 gigs of ram. So far its running alright, did the ram tweaks, so all is good there. The problem I'm having is that the Unofficial 82.69 driver will recognize my card, but the resolution will not stay. I can set it to 640x480 with full colors but if I try to bring it up to 1440x900 (my monitors native resolution) the entire screen goes black. I can give it the three finger solute but it will just bluscreen, and if i reboot, it'll go back to 16 bit color. I can't even get it up to 800x600 without this occuring. Thank god I have my vista laptop from which I am posting this Have I missed something, it's getting late and I need more coffee *heads off to tim hortons* heheh. TIA

I have win98 and xp installed in a dual boot config. Xp works fine. But in 98 i have caution signs in device manager that i can't seem to get rid of. Also IRQ steering has been disabled because supposedly the table has "some errors" but it works fine in xp. All the drivers have been installed and I have scanned for all types of malware.
