  1. Hello Kotuku, It seems the problem is solved, thanks to some tips someone gave me. I just had to disable Marvel Storage Controller & Marvel SAS on BIOS, and the Windows Vista started to flow nice with no requesting for RAID controllers - thing that I don't have in my system, RAID. But I was seeing my life going backwards If my PC don't explode in the next days, everything is fice : ) Thanks for the reply and have all a nice Christmas / New Year.
  2. Greetings, My young and bastard brother did an update to my motherboard BIOS, and I guess something went wrong and I can't manage to deal with it. Is there someone very altruistic who can help me? Here's the situation.... My motherboard is ASUS P6T Deluxe, and today he updated my motherboard BIOS to the most recent ones available, because my motherboard had the first one and he thought that if he updated, probably it would have a better performance or, at least, something would improve in the overall system. The update went right, I guess, but the problems started as soon as the PC rebooted. Instead of the normal boot screen, American Trends logo, that I was used to see, it appears the follow: First Screen: Asus P6T Deluxe package cover Second Screen: Marvell 88SE63 xx / 64 xx Adapter - BIOS Version 3.1.0.12 Reseting Controller 1.... OK Initializing Controller 1... OK Spin Up Group 1... OK Initializing RAID Component.... OK In the lower part of the screen: Press DEL to run Setup. Press TAB to display BIOS POST message Third Screen: Marvell 88SE63 xx / 64 xx Adapter - BIOS Version 3.1.0.12 Adapter 0 [Virtual Disk] No Virtual Disk! [Physical Disk] No Physical Disk! In the lower part of the screen: Press CTRL+M to enter BIOS Setup or SPACE to continue Fourth Screen: Marvell 88SE61 xx Adapter - BIOS Version 1.1.0.L72a Adapter 1 Disks Information: No hard disk is detected! And then the Windows Vista starts and it asks to install the RAID controllers. I don't have any kind of RAID system. I only have one hard drive with two partitions, and only because the computer already came like this from the store. Any help to solve my problems and bring back my computer in a stable way with this BIOS version installed? I really don't know what things should I edit on BIOS to solve this and bring back «peace» to my PC. What I want is to put everything like it was, with the values, options, etc., but using this BIOS version, and I really don't know what were the options activated or not in the BIOS before I done the update. Taking it back to the store is the last option.... Any tips?
  3. Greetings to all, Well, I tried the version that Glock advise, and it seems that is ok. At least, it really installed the directx, thing that all the other versions I tried, didn’t. Maybe the other versions were corrupted or incomplete, I still don’t know, but it was weird. I don’t understand is why a couple of months I could do the installation through Windows Update, and now I can’t. Little weird, I think, but hey... we’re talking about Microsoft - its says it all, lol. I guess the problem is solved. Thank you all very much for the tips and the fast answers. If some new problem appear, I’ll drop the issues one more time. I just registered on the board to solve my problem, but I read it a long time a go. Thank you all for the tips, one more time. Regards,
  4. Well, I did a format to my computer today, and started a fresh install of windows 98. The problems are basically the same: directx 9 don't install. It doesn’t matter if I use the automatic version through Windows Update, or a direct x file download directly to my desktop, they just don’t work. Through windows update, it starts the download, but then it finishes abruptingly, saying that the file was ‘successful installed’, but it do not show the message to reboot the computer, and it didn’t download anything, cause if I check the direct x on my pc, I don’t have the version number 9 installed. If run the file, downloaded to my desktop, directly on my computer, the install stops and appears the message I told yesterday: Setup Could Not Download The File. Please Retry Later Or Check Network Connection. This is quite weird, isn’t it? For example, I did a format in last July, and run the Windows Update, and all was installed normally, including the direct x – I had no problems back then. But now, after three months, the direct x is failing its installation. Is it from my computer, or is something more general and MS is trying to let win98 down? I can try the version you recommend, Glock, but I already know that it won’t work. Should I extract those files to where in my computer?
  5. The other one that I used, blew me the system off. I couldn't see any website, not even on safe mode, cause it crashed the pc : \ I'm doing a format again. I can check that one tomorrow, Kurt. But I bet it won't do anything, cause all the direct X from MS are failing; it says that install, but they aren't.
  6. Hi there, eidenk (thanks for replying) I was a little bit desperate, and tried this one: Unofficial DX 9.0c August 2007 Redist Full + MDX for Windows 98 SE/ME [38.6 MB].
  7. Hello People, Sorry if I’m posting something that already was talked on the board, but I have an urgent need to solve this problem and I couldn’t find an answer. I did a format to my Windows 98 (Second Edition) on Sunday, doing all the Windows Updates through MS page, but I cannot download the DirectX through the page, cause if always fails. I tried to download the DirectX through another places, but it always appears the message: Setup Could Not Download The File. Please Retry Later Or Check Network Connection. How can I solve this thing? I tried an unofficial version of the DirectX that can be found in this forum, but it gives an error and not updates at all. I’m not a gifted person in technology and I don’t know how to code stuff. Any help, tutorial, etc? Will this be a permanent situation by the MS? How can we deal with it? Cause it sucks dudes : \ Regards, My Computer: Win98 Second Edition Portuguese Language Fujitsu Siemens AMD Duron 700 64 MB RAM 10 GB
