    NVidia drivers 82.69

    in Windows 9x/ME

    Posted

    Indeed currently I have no Win98(SE) installation on a hard drive.

    Greetings. I have a video card with a similar design to yours and it looks like I will soon have to do the same procedure... Let me ask you, after the BIOS patch, do you have a normal exit from DOS (Back to WINDOWS) using the "Exit" command?

    This is a key issue that the NVCORE.VxD patch failed to address. More precisely, it was this patch that broke the exit from DOS, which was tested on the reference 128MB GeForce 5 video card, first with the original NVCORE.VxD, with which the exit from DOS worked fine, and then with the patched NVCORE.VxD, with which the exit from DOS stopped working, all other things being equal. And even fine-tuning MTRR did not give positive results in this issue (But it repeatedly increased the speed of 2D and page scrolling in browsers, as well as the performance of games under DOS). Therefore, there is only one hope left - a BIOS patch.

    I checked it on ME. It's probably just as it should be in the case of the DOS Box here. The box closes using the "Exit" command. But you changed the description of the problem. So maybe now you mean "Real DOS".

    Then I installed the Unofficial Windows 98 Second Edition Service Pack from there:

    I chose to install the option to update Outlook Express as I wanted to upgrade it to OE6 trying to help fix my connection problems but after booting Outlook Express didn't start anymore because MSOE.DLL could not be loaded.

    There could be a bug in that SP or something went wrong. You could reinstall IE(OE)5.5 or 6.0 from another source. I'm not very familiar with Win98 service packs, because I'm running WinME, but the following links should lead to all the information you need.

    I'm not sure about GMail and IMAP. I have a working connection with a POP3 freenet account. However, I haven't checked SSL for listening, so also not in OE account/Properties/Advanced. Checked is SSL for remote here in WinSSLWrap. Further I didn't change the service names (still POP3 {SSL} Protocol/SMTP {SSL} Protocol).

    Tested and confirmed FAT32 detection by default - without registry entry!

    Most likely, some volume is reserved by the built-in graphics. This value can usually be changed in the BIOS. I also have 8GB, but the ramdisk size is different:

    P965 hasn't built-in graphics, but yes the reserved size is different for each board. POST gives 7104MB here, what is quite little.RDProp.png.d69be4aae1bea186601138a57402a572.png

    I found my mistake. Setting the command path beforehand on system seems crucial.

    - the command path (either in pure DOS mode or Safe mode DOS window) is set to [C:\]WINDOWS\SYSTEM;

    Until now I thought it doesn't matter and I could enter the entire path starting from the command path C:\, which apparently doesn't work in this case. In any case, the new file was created without comment and confirmation. Thanks to you all again.

    Under Windows ME on RAM drive you should get FAT32 volume (not FAT16) by default with size ~4.5 GiB on 8 GiB RAM.

    Sorry, of course I mean RAMDrive and not swap file.

    It is to be assumed that the drive should grow accordingly with size of RAM and switch to FAT32 by default. The question is why this didn't happen here.

    Windows 98 SE: i need some patches\hotfixes...

    is there any patch for add 'send to...' on context menu?(inlued the removal drives)

    Do you mean, that you don't have "Send To" in your context menu or do you only need "Unplug or Eject Hardware" inside SendTo?

    The start order of "Unplug or Eject Hardware" is "RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll".

    Maybe somebody here can write you a simple bat/cmd file.

    My condolences. I wish you the necessary strength. My Mother still lives and is 91 years old. First I only compared MD5 of PTCHNVSZ.zip and PATCHNVC.EXE. These are the same. NVCheck and NVSize work. Thanks for sharing.
