    To restore registry one can do the following:
    - (re)boot to plain DOS
    - at the command prompt type scanreg /restore and press Enter
    A selection of registry backups should be presented to choose from, according to the saved dates. Upon selecting (usually the most recent that worked) and choosing 'Restore', a reboot should bring the machine back to the state it was at that date.
    When the machine appears to work correctly for a few sessions you may invoke scanreg /backup at a command prompt to save current registry as a backup. This command can be added to startup to be performed automatically each boot, on a healthy system.

    In regard to the choice above the logical answer would be the latter, because it contains many recent updated files that do not exist in AP, considering AP development halted in 2008 while uSP3 is still being worked on AFAIK. For a (relatively) modern hardware uSP3 would be preferrable over AP. Make sure you read the documentation carefully and follow the directions. If you have the possibility, take a backup image of your system partition now and store it somewhere safe (on another HDD partition, preferrably, to have it handy in case it has to be restored, since at some point the USB may not be available for restoration if you save it on a Flash drive).
    Oh and whatever you do, do not mix AP2007/2008 with uSP3.
    Good luck! :)

    I couldn't, the backups with scanreg were damaged (weird), but WinRescue worked great! And thanks again for the info, so only usp3 for now on.

  2. Don't know what happened, but i had to restore the registry with WinRescue and reinstall some drivers afterwards, i had a lot of troubles with the usb ports to work again and now im testing new downloads, looks everything cool now.

    Btw what is better Ap2007+Ap2008up or U98sesp3, because this last one is smaller.

    Beige tower, I love it!!!

    Well, I haven't been in the NFS community in quite some time so I can't remember exactly what they've created but I know there are some graphics patches as well as just exe patches to help bypass certain game checks on system requirements which both 98 and XP can take advantage of. And is that a Linksys WUSB54G I see on the top of the tower? :)

    Thanks! And yeah, my Linksys modem still kicking with WPA connection and browsing with Opera, Firefox and K-meleon, it rules!
    And i just upgraded to 1.5GB RAM again ;)
     

  4. *this is my design* so far, please ignore the background hehe, i just got this 17" monitor but now im looking for something better in lcd.

    Btw yea there are now patches for running smoothly nfs4 in xp and higher but its the w98 feeling what we need right?

    And about the less is better i agree, but like now i have the possibility for buying everything i couldnt in time,  i need to enjoy it ;)

  5. Hello guys, thanks for the fast responses! Everything was cool, the BIOS options, the full acceleration and the drivers, but the problem was KernelEx!, i just disable it for the app and it worked like a charm! awesome fps, i played a race and the pc crashed hehe, i think it's just w98 things, hope it won't happen again, but like i have tons of apps and games, i need to check now the problem, btw my ram stick it's 400mhz i put it wrong in my first post and it really matters with the processor and video card.

    Any upgrade to my computer you recommend? I'm getting a 3.5" sound blaster drive, a 3.5" zip drive and a big lcd monitor.

  6. Hello guys, i need some help with my pc, it has the following specs:

    Windows 98SE with Unofficial SP3 and KernelEX.

    80GB HDD

    ATI Radeon 9550 256MB AGP

    1GB RAM 333MHZ

    Motherboard Asrock 775i65g rev 1.0

    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.9GHZ 1066FSB in LGA775

    and other stuff like Linksys WIFI modem, internal DVD writer, external HP CD-RW writer, internal 3com LAN card, frontal USB and card reader, full atx case, DELL SK-8135 USB multimedia keyboard, HP Optical USB Mouse.

    The problem its that games like Need for Speed High Stakes look choppy? (like lag dunno the word) even in 640*480 resolution, what could be wrong. I installed a patch for more than 1gb ram and it only worked with 1.5Gb so i removed the 512MB stick and left just the 1gb stick. Also it has 2 partitions and the other one with XP in NTFS.
