Thanks StarRiver, for your tests. I'm afraid I'm stuck with the 512MB card. I bought it at a store where I went for the first time and it was the only AGP card they had. I mentioned that I added an extra 1GB to my PC and had maxphyspage set to 512MB. Well my Win98 install started to act up, the swap file couldn't be on another drive, Norton Windoctor couldn't access system.dat and startups that hung. I looked at some of the other threads here and then d/l-ed himemx and tried with that and everything went back to normal... Anyway, I'll try to get my Win98 through some virtual machine software. I really only need it for my printer, an HP710C, which has only the most basic support in XP with their 'standard driver'... And I occasionally play some old games, some of which use 3DFX's Voodoo 2. Yep, I still got one of those in my system too. DDP

Thanks glocK_94. I managed to get them from somewhere else and they don't seem to work... Everything installs just fine and when I restart the PC hangs just before the Win98 GUI should appear. I then restart in safe mode and right away there's an 'not enough memory error, remove some programs from config.sys etc...' My PC had a Radeon 9800XT 256MB and 1GB, I added another GB and replaced the Radeon with the Sparkle 7600GS 512MB. I had the physical mem restricted to 512MB in system.ini. I also did a clean install of Win98SE and added the 'maxphyspage' from DOS. When the Win install rebooted the PC hung straight away with the 'not enough memory error'... I can start Win98 with the ATI drivers still in there, it then detects a PCI-Standard VGA device but when I install the N8269 drivers and reboot it hangs... Could the 512MB on the Sparkle card have something to do with it? And BTW, in XP it works with the 2GB memory and drivers from the Sparkle site.

Hi MDGx, I have a Sparkle 7600GS/512MB AGP and I want to dual boot with XP and Win98SE. I'm trying to get hold of your modded drivers at http://www.mdgx.com/files/NV8269.EXE All I get is a "You are not authorized to view this page". Do I need to register somewhere? DDP
