    Because i get an error when i try install. ONLY on installation.

    what "installation"? aida dont req "instalation", just "unzip-and-run".

    i have such result:

    =====

          Driver Description                                Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
          Hardware ID                                       PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8032&SUBSYS_00661025&REV_00
          PCI Device                                        Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
    its better disable this device - his driver can conflict with other drivers

    =====

          Driver Description                                PCI Ethernet Controller

    no drivers, no chances:

    i choose 'winxp sp2' on compatible mode(kernelex32.dll).

    :angry: why? i clearly say - run in 98 (NOT XP)!
    aida work in 9x w/o kex!
    ur actions with kex can give wrong data for aida!

    ok, wait, i go find drivers...
    think u need drivers only for these devices:

        Other devices:
          PCI Card                                          
          PCI Ethernet Controller                           
          PCI Network Controller                            

    yes?

    in real life 9x need just bit patches:
    - ESDI506.PDR from BHDD or TBP, and/or AHCI.PDR if ur machine work in ahci mode;
    - RLP;
    - NUSB;
    - "-p i" switch for incompatble acpi bios;
    - directX,. video and sound;
    all other - garbage.

    if u talk about this machine:
    http://www.notebookreview.com/notebookreview/acer-aspire-1690-review-pics-specs/
    then machine look as fully compatible...

    get AIDA64 https://www.aida64.com/downloads
    run it under 98 (not XP!),
    select Report/Wizard/Custom/uncheck All but Devices (other get bsod)/Plaintext,
    save to file, compress with zip and upload here...
    then i try find really needed drivers for u.

    Is there any place I can download debugging symbols for Windows 98 SE, specifically for DIBENG.DLL?

    yes, just look for old ms DDKs on MDGX site:
    http://www.mdgx.com/add.htm
    then unpack *.sym files from it, place it \winidr\system, and run nmsym for all files.

    after this you get *.nms files, and can write
    load=\windir\dibeng.dll
    in winice.ini for EACH that file....

    but it somehow treats it as a modem and requires a telephone dial-in number. If anyone knows how to get that to work, it would be appreciated.

    ice for remote debugging need just serial link ("null modem") btw two machines.

    also, you can connect ice via LAN.

    for example, make two vm, one for debugee, other for control.

    Oh cool. I'll take a look at the DDK in my free time.

    it is not enough... you MUST also read ALL ddks and sdks begin from Win 3.0 and OS/2 for better understanding internals legacy Windows systems...

    it was bad idea. instead improving KeyX, now i write new tool, specially for VM window resize to aspect...
    new tool is bit more smart. :D it will called from Window Menu via right mouse click on window header - no more idiotic workaround for PCem etc.
    alse new tool will look real guest area size, w/o menubar/statusbar. ie aspect 4:3 will very precise...

    now i want ask,  what name is better for my new tool (Virtual Machine [Guest/Client] [Window/Area] [Sizer/Resizer]):
    VMCAR/VMGAR/VMGASes :thumbup/etc... or somewhat other?
