I hit the same problem with Dell Poweredge 1950 server, no PS/2 ports, no USB settings it the Bios. Could additional USB controller help, which one si the most compatible? Unattended install has small problem, im afraid that they is probably no way how to select partition on Win2000 should be installed.. I have tried also Ventoy USB instead of direct USB install, but on this machine, its allways blue screening, step further. It really looks like some fixable bug, that for F6 is keyboard working fine, but not after Sort of give up way is install Windows 2000 on the other machine or virtual and restore image on the target machine and use some P2P - physical to physical adjusted, in case, when its not booting.. I have the best experience with Paragon tools for P2P.. I checked all of these PS/2 PCI/ PCI-e cards, you look at close, there is everytime some fine print about not supported by BIOS.. and you can find some USB chip on these cards, which means that you need USB driver to make it working.. So its not solution for such problem. I wonder some machines still have COm - serial ports, long time ago we used serial mice.. maybe, maybe someone did some keyboard for serial port, some servers, have keyboard with serials ports.. but i never was familiar with it, if working for bioses etc.. Update: At least SP2 is working with back USB ports, im using Lenovo keyboard, but its probably does not matter, all floppy has to be at the back port, even when F6 phase it working on the front port. I have tried additional PCI-E USB2 controller with MOS chip, but it does not worked.

So earlier version than 4.62 are proven to work on Win98 fine? Or you did not tested them?

I tried much newer 9.xx, 21.xx they are running fine, except drag and drop.

Is therre version of 7Zip where drag and drop is working on NT4? Im used too use it and lot.. to extract files but draging them out of 7zip folder..

Hi, im trying keep my drive letters settings in NT4. I have 1 SCSI disk (4 partitions) and 1 PATA disk (3 partitions). Im using Disk Administrator utility, im use to change drive letter on the fly, but returning back to old settings after reboot. In the past it usually stayed set to right settings, few it broke again, but now its breaking every boot. Now i installed Universal ATA drive, i may cause this problem, but i doubt it. I have tried to use Paragon and Acronis partitions managers too, but its the same. On Windows 2000+ i could change drive letter under registry path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices I found only this: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Disk There are optical drivers only. I have tried to find drivers letter like E: and F: but again i found only optical drivers, maybe its in NT4 settings outside of registry. On Windows 98, i used to use Letter assigner, but its not working on NT and so far i did not find similar utility working on NT4 Some hint, which registry keyword to search to find this settings would be great.

Any idea how to bypass need for reboot to reinstall sound drivers? It would be nice workaround, to same me reboots and i can auto uninstall / install drivers at system start up.. I tried to search for Reboot registry key, i would some with some strange ABCD-EFXX-XXX format set 0 under some Creative Tech path, i set it to 1 but it wasnt right one.

Thanks.

Thanks, i actually searched through Wayback machine, but it not know name of their original web size, i looked correct there wasnt yet suite - all tools collection back in 2005? Still if you have some per OS packs distribute what you can? If not program Sysinternals suite was available and still just not too old version on all freeware download servers. Do i understand correctly that Sysinternals was free pack and Wininternals was for commercial products (i dont need these)?

Has someone whole win9x sysinternals suite filtered for Windows 9x or NT to upload for download? If not afanite its license rules? Because download old versions and make it through all info in this thread would take hours or maybe days? Is somewhere some package of pre 2006 Microsoft acquisition of company?

Is there some FPScounter compatible with Windows NT4, or at least some tool to identify if game is running in early Direct3D or use software DirectDraw rendering? Maybe it could be detected by some Direct3D supporting process. For OpenGL and GLide its usually antialing enough to recognize that 3D is running for early Direct3D like 3 or 5 games im not so sure, because some games looks sort of 3D accelerated. Some games prints which 3D API is used in some ingame setup or have executable per API, but some dont. Also there is not often Readme or other info and info which games are using which api on pcgamingwiki: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_Direct3D_2-7_games is related to full version of games not demos, sometimes 3D API option was added through post release patches. Also some Glide wrapper for NT which are using OpenGL as output would be very nice.

I made Geforce 2 MX working with Lenovo quadro OpenGL drivers after uninstallation of KB891711 KB.. I need more debugging to check where was a problem.

I have tried Geforce 2 MX pci (maybe driver expect AGP only cards, but i doubt it 2D- DirectDraw test are running line) and lots of driver with the same machine same problem.. There are special NT driver with opengl dll included, but it never works.. Some OpenGL are just dummy for NT4. Or there is some problem with creating right key to make OpenGL ICD registry keys, or device creation, there are a lot of stories of failing with it. Maybe some OpenGL developer would know that needs to be done to make it working. Usual error in OpenGL initialization is SetPixelFormat failed.. There are some Nvidia NT4 OpenGL benchmarks on Anandtech so it has to work at least with some cards, somehow: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/athlon-kx133-motherboard-roundup,186-18.html

I fixed WIndows 2000 had somewhere deep in my memory that i was using for some time something called - Omega drivers so i tried it at 1st try - *_w2kxp_omega_38252_7.exe, i everything started to work, i tired before i lots of ATI drivers.. Registry entries seems to be the same, so problem is probably elsewhere. These 3rd drivers are always from people actually care, performance is nice and lots of settings as bonus. GLinfo + QUake 2 demo and Vampire Redemption demo, started to work right away.. Vampire has actually nice used drive info - so i that even for Opengl (i maybe Direct3D- but i really doubt it its using Quake 3 engine port) is ati2dvag.dll used, not atiglxx.dll as i suspected. I also found OneGL1 benchmark/test - which showed that before OpenGL worked somehow but probably only through Microsoft driver, so it was very slow. Quake 3 Demo(full game could have a bit better handling) still had problem to start - classic invalid Pixel format error, but i have google how to force different OpenGL.dll: quake3.exe +set r_glDriver "name.dll" // "" - real picture of command not some marker, you have to copy this dll to Quake3 root (it maybe not, but i had it for testing) so i tried 3 usual suspects, atioglx1.dll atioglxx.dll and ati2dvag.dll - atioglx1.dll was winner, who line: quake3.exe +set r_glDriver "atioglx1.dll"

Here drivers package right from cd.. It includes Win98 and Win2000 folders, im not entairy sure if installer does not use some files from them for WinNT4 too. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kfc2bunrfl75y98jscszh/SB0090-Drivers-ProvenBeforeRestart.7z?rlkey=8xdaurug2om1azwj6ze0hj7af&dl=1 // 16 MB

I know its 6 years, but i finally tested these more.. These are nice but removing some devices, si not working and i also missing classic HardwareID - i info to ease searching for drivers. I managed to remove drivers through registry in live OS, so it would be nice to add it too On similar topic, i have some Creative Audigy SB090 drivers, which from some reason could not be installed by pointing Multimedia - add Device wizard, something wrong with *.inf file, so only installation through *.exe is working and lots of bloatware is added to machine. i have problem that these drivers working only right after install before rebooting, and not after reboot so i would like to install bare drivers if possible. If remove them reinstall them, its again working only without reboot.. I created thread for it here:
