"Did you load SMARTDRV yourself or it was loaded by Windows? As you can see SMARTDRV uses most memory, maybe reduce the buffers a bit? " yes... speaking on autoexect.bat or config.sys, can i use an 'if' for test if is MS-DOS or Windows? is for execute these only on MS-DOS. but. to be honest, i don't know what these do... and the 'doskey.com', i don't know it too. "Do you really need localized keyboard? You can disable KEYB and free 9KB more." it's for change my keyboard layout to Portuguese(i'm Portuguese). "About VSB.COM, is it this? Which version? You should not run it with Windows, only in pure DOS. " version 2.02 i have 'Intel 82801FB(M) ICH6(-M) - AC'97 Audio Controller [B2]', but theres no drivers for MS-DOS.. so i'm trying use it. "If i remember correctly, Warcraft 2 should run fine with sound under Win9x without loading DOS sound drivers. You just have to configure it properly. " yes... but... the Spear of Destiny- Wolf3D don't execute on Windows. justo on MS-DOS, but takes some minutes. "Are you trying to get more memory in pure DOS, or in the DOS prompt in Windows?" both for execute MS-DOS games normaly... but if i can use them on DOS prompt in Windows, i will be happy "How fast is that system? Maybe Wargus or DOSBox (with D-Fend Reloaded) or ScummVM may be better alternatives." maybe too faste: CPU: 1.6GH'z RAM: 512MB's VRAM: 64MB's to be honest, why use DOSBox, if it's Win9x!?!

https://imgur.com/TLGGbFH https://imgur.com/xtwVlAL 1st error: https://imgur.com/HgKGSKC 2nd error: the Warcraf 2 freezes, on menu, on MS-DOS... but not on Windows, Prompt MS-DOS... PS: i was writing here, when i see the game playing on demo... seems that i lose the mouse(even seen the icon) and no keyboard input so what you can advice me?

some games need 560kb or a little more.. so that's the problem.. i have 636KB's on Convencional memory.. but i use some drivers... and because of that, i don't have 560KB's free what i can do more?

is for games and drivers... i didn't get lock with UMBPCI i tryied that commands, but no success i must see the MemMaker... i can't find it on Windows 98

after several changes, the autoexec.bat have an error on codepage parameter: https://imgur.com/RNt19Zw https://imgur.com/i2CqiA7 https://imgur.com/s3t24UB https://imgur.com/HI5eFNf the autoexec.bat error, i can fix it.. but my real problem is the memory on config.sys

using the config.sys, how can i get more Upper Memory Blocks - UMB, High Memory Area – HMA and Extended Memory? i knoe these commands: DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM but i get less memory that i need and some MS-DOS programs\games can't run because of these problem and i'm reading these: https://www.philscomputerlab.com/ms-dos-starter-pack.html

thank you so much for all.. i will test it... please read my last post... i need have sure if that mini card is the 'most wanted' for my laptop on Win9X? for i buy it

maybe isn't compatible with WPA codification or something. that why i'm trying buy these one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254506467561?hash=item3b41c480e9:g:S94AAOxy-WxTFCr8 from these suggestion: https://cloakedthargoid.wordpress.com/win9x-wpa2/ yes i try almost everything(except on W2K.. i must create a double boot and i don't know do it). and from ArcticFoxie: " Upon further reading on my end, WPA and WPA2 is very difficult on 98/98SE. I could probably get it to work if it were my equipment. But guiding this process online is going to be far too time-consuming given the complexity level of the articles found via a Google-search on the topic." so i prefare buy the https://www.ebay.com/itm/254506467561?hash=item3b41c480e9:g:S94AAOxy-WxTFCr8 but i need a confirmation, for have sure that i can buy it MrMateczko: you gived me a suggestion... wasn't the solution, but you tryied... and the price was low... so... that's ok... thanks anyway at least the Windows 98 is working on a Windows XP laptop hehehehe and all drivers are installed... well except the wireless... and the modem driver seems strange, even installed without a warning or something... maybe these wireless card will resolve my problem. thanks to all for all

i need ask more 1 thing: i found a universal sound driver: http://www.georgpotthast.de/dossound/ isn't free, but seems to be for my sound card... but any sound.. even if i choose the speaker... what you can tell me? is need a command instead only execute the file?

honestly i don't know do it.. but, true, is the best for test the hardware

"please, check this card with W2K. maybe card just dont work (i say about wireless part, not mPCI interface)." i must format, again..again, the laptop hehehehehe these one is the more apropriated for windows 98? https://www.ebay.com/itm/254506467561?hash=item3b41c480e9:g:S94AAOxy-WxTFCr8 it's a low price but these time i must ask what is the best for my acer and windows 98

win98SE

ACER Aspire 1690... true it's for WinXP, but i decide install the Win98... and, like you see, the problem is the Wireless(only)... the rest works fine... but no network

Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG 3B Network Connection don't have drivers for windows 98.. see previous pages\posts... but i have read some posts that can exist.. but i don't find it... that's why i buyed another card: Atheros AR5004G for get the drivers for windows 98 saying these: my final objective is getting Wireless\internet on windows 98

"or B only. or G only. or disable WPA. or WEP. or turn ON something of. " i just did without success "is ur hotspot can be detected on w2k WITH THIS CARD?" my previous card, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG 3B Network Connection, detect my hotspot on W2K.

it was on system32\drivers... so i copy it to system... and reboot the laptop on Device Manager, now say the company name on Device details(like the image) but my network isn't on list and the 'Atheros Client Utility' program tell me the 'Wireless Mode' is '????' like almost everything... but my hotspot isn't detected "I'm late to the thread so apologies if you have already tried this -- go into your router's wi-fi config and verify you have it in the correct mode (a, b, g, n, b/g only, mixed)." now i found it: Definitions - Mode 802.11' is '802.11 b/g/n' i must change it to 'b/g'?

is that file, the problem?

i'm confused: if the driver is installed correctly, why i don't get my hotspot?

how can i get that mini adapter or hostpot information? on my win98 laptop, i installed the Atheros Client Utility, and i can't get information, just '...' on my networks list driver, on my win98 laptop, the wireles is: 'Atheros Wireless Network Adapter' i think i know what information you need, but i don't know get it... sorry

the problem is the '2'... on 'Avaible Networks - Acess Point Networks' the list is empty

the mini card adapter is(on chip): Atheros AR5213A-00 A21618C 5204 china "what EXACTLY "hotspot" and which setiings is used?" my hotspot was detected, on Windows 2000, with other mini card. honestly here i don't know what to say.... it's the defauld. "try set hotspot to GUEST mode without password." even i try without a pass, why isn't on odessy program, on wireless list? i'm confused.. but maybe it's the drivers that are wrong.. they are installed... the button for turn on\off the wireless is allways orange... here i even don't know if is on\off

is a driver problem?

finally i get the CDROM and USB(and the external USB floppy drive) working from here: https://www.classic-computers.org.nz/blog/2018-02-05-USB-in-MS-DOS-and-Win98.htm i see 2 problems: 1 - i must plug the drives, before turn on the computer; 2 - i can't change the pen or other device.... i must turn off and plug them ... how can i fix these problems?
