so it was impossible until my patch for win.com. for marketing cheats "Windows 95 is not DOS!" ms forced apm turn off procedure instead termination win.com (and make many other stup[id cheats in io.sys and win.com). yes, there is some other patches for win.com that do like exit in dos. but this patches do wrong way - they remain little resident code of win.com. my - not. if u remove or modify WINEXIT.BAT - u get true termination win.com, and pure DOS after exit, w/o resident win.com code. but if u have use usb kbd and/or mouse in windows - it does not work after that exit, until reboot.

ok, try again... in pure DOS mode: - comment or skip by F8 string DEVICE=DISPLAY.SYS in CONFIG.SYS, if exist, - remove or rename LOGOW.SYS and LOGOS.SYS files, - set Logo=0 and Bootgui=0 in MSDOS.SYS: [Options] BootGUI=0 Logo=0 - extract WINEXIT.BAT, FDAPM.COM, WIN.ENG to WINDIR, - rename WIN.ENG to WIN.COM with replace, - reboot machine - run WIN.COM: C:\>win - wait desktop, press Alt+F4, select Shutdown. now u should see black DOS screen with executed WINEXIT.BAT.

sorry, i forget - no Bootlogo=0, just logo=0...

just use other hardware. good old pentium 1-2-3 or amd k6-k7, good olg agp video, good old 14" crt 800x600, good old isa sound...

get fdapm from here https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.2/repos/pkg-html/fdapm.html unpack to c:\, then boot to pure dos mode (w/o gui) and run next command: C:\>FDAPM POWEROFF machine should turn off... if no - then u have BIG problem with legacy apm/acpi implementation in ur BIOS...

try set Bootlogo=0 and Bootgui=0 in msdos.sys, reboot machine, run my patched win.com manually C:\>WIN<Enter> and test acpioff again...

possible, ur 98 system is installed in ACPI mode. but for work my ACPIOFF pack req that system was installed NOT in ACPI mode. try reinstall 98 with "/p i" switch.

what button? just open Shutdown menu and select Shutdown.

1) download ACPIOFF 2) extract WINEXIT.BAT, FDAPM.COM, WIN.ENG to WINDIR, 3) backup your original WIN.COM to safe place, 4) rename WIN.ENG to WIN.COM with replace, 5) reboot machine. after this you can turn off machine succesfully.

u try look in readme file?

not understand. write exactly algorhitm, what u want do...

there is NO 9x drivers for HDA.

for BT u need any BT stack. for sample, from Bluesoleil, WidComm or Toshiba. unfortunatelly i use BT last time about 5 years back. i remember, that Bluesoleil work with 9x, but forget, which version exactly... for IR u dont need drivers, because ur IR port already mapped as usual COM2. unfortunatelly i use IR last time about 15 years back. i remember, that my USB IR with drivers work with 9x, but forget, how it use, and which exactly software need... i remember only, that there was needed select com port in that software.

show photo, please...

use router, Luke!

no

yes

u ALWAYS must do "safe remove" before hot-unplug anything. ALWAYS. on ANY OS. on ANY BIOS. on ANY MACHINE. moreover, i recommend turn off machine fully before plug/unplug anything. all "home" hot-plug/hot-unplug technologies is unreable. u always have risk of electrical and/or mechanical chock for device. u can crack all device, not only lost data. its very valid for modern devices.

reinstall NUSB

uhh... i dont know. i never see that error on my machines.

nice :) my congratulations! ok, thank for info, we will think more...

heh, there in new archive was INF only. all other files u can get from my prev radeon archive... what exactly error is appered? u can show screenshot?

HI! try this drivers:: Conexant_AC-Link_Audio_Driver_for_Acer.zip http://sendfile.su/1597093 also, run dxdiad graphics tests with ur previous video card selection (ie Mobility Radeon) and with this our variant inf for ati driver (we add ur pci id into inf file): http://sendfile.su/1597097 password 1 also, run dxdiad sound tests with old and new audio driver... please also reply me on next question: ur notebook have external video output (vga/hdmi/dp)? if yes - are u have only ONE videodevice in DM? if yes - turn ofrf book, then try connect ext mointor and look in DM - there is appear secondary radeon video card, or no? if sec video appeared - main monitor (lcd panel) remains active, or turned off?
