    Recommended Desktop Graphic Card for Win98SE ?

    in Windows 9x/ME

    Posted

    As the topic says, I want to upgrade my graphic card. Searching the net I found lots of tests, but most of them only interested in gaming performance, which is not interesting for me.

    Currently Im using an ATI Radeon 9200 128MB, which is not bad for desktop only. But browsing the net with sites that do have a lot of images it starts bucking and that can be very annoying.

    So what AGP-card would you recommend to use with WIN98 Desktop-applications nowadays?

    • It should be with passive cooling when possible like the Radeon Ultimate, which I read might get very hot on duty unfortunatelly.
    • It should not consume too much power. Are there any graphic cards that use something like AMD cool n quiet? So that the GPU slows down when idle and speeds up when used?

    So, my question now is, is it normal for your floppy drive to do a disk check the first time Explorer is opened after a reboot, or is my computer weird for needing InterActual Player to remain installed to prevent it?

    Hi Queue,

    try this one:

    Open SYSTEM PROPERTIES

    Than the right TAB which is about PERFORMANCE

    Click the button FILESYSTEM

    Than goto FLOPPY DISK -Tab

    Theres a box you can uncheck to stop Windows from searching the floppy.

    I use REGSEEKER and heres my file sizes @ present

    User.dat - 533k

    System.dat - 3609k

    Thats small. :thumbup

    I have Norton System Works installed and I guess at least 2 MB of registry entries come just with this Suite.

    any playing around with the registry isnt a good thing!

    it may look like windows works fine but later on you may find that centein programs or windows programs need them and you wont know why its stuffs up becasue this be a long time after

    Im using Eusing Free Registry Cleaner and scanreg /fix for years now. Never had any problems.

    A clean small registry is the key to a fast and stable system.

    Of course I do regularly backups as well.

    Especially before working with registry files its recommended to make a sysbackup, so it can be restored if something is messed up.

    Startbar Language changed after using Auto-Patcher

    in Windows 9x Member Projects

    Posted

    Auto-Patcher worked fine for me, as far as I can say for now. The only problem I recognizes, that it sets my startbar language to english (instead of german). All other menus are still in german.

    When I was aked to keep files because of a language conflict during Auto-Patcher installation, I always confirmed to keep current german files.

    Can anybody tell me how to switch the startbar back to german?

    THX in advance (and big thx to all those who worked at the auto-patcher) :thumbup

    First I wanna say THX to all guys, who keep 98 alive :)

    Now here is how I keep my registry clean and small:

    I do recomment this free registry cleaner:

    http://www.eusing.com/free_registry_cleane...try_cleaner.htm

    At the beginning I was careful when handling it, but meanwhile I let him run and delete all strings he finds and thats a lot.

    After cleaning you can shrink your registry files by entering:

    scanreg /fix

    in the last line of autoexec.bat.

    Restart your computer and it will cleanup your registry, when finished it tells you to restart again, than you have to remove this entry or simply add the "rem" command before it, so it looks like this:

    rem scanreg /fix

    Now lets COMPARE :)

    user.dat = 700 kB

    system.dat = 6.100 kB

    Check the size of boths files before cleaning and fixing and then you know that Eusing does a good job.

    Greets.
