>what method are you using to manage your memory in this Windows installation? What's your config.sys file look like? I'm not sure i hadn't touched that file at all I did have to change something in the system.ini to get my machine to boot as it has 3gb ram. I just went back to xp in the end. I think ill try getting 98 running on my x40 another time as that actually has drivers for 98/me Thankyou

Okay so after installing again I am getting the same crashes, one of the times before it crashed i got a popup saying: Error Runtime error 202 at 0003:01BE. After crashing the machine just reboots, I booted with my me boot disk and commented out the wavehda=hda2.dll line again. I can now boot, if I go into device manager I can see High Definition Audio Controller and it says it is working properly To install the drivers I made C:/Drivers/HDAudio In that directory was the genhda16.inf. I then made a subdirectory HDAFILES, in this directory was: hda2.dll hdarun.exe hdatsr.exe genhda16.inf I then opened device manager, went to pci card > properties > update driver > advanced and then pointed it to C:/Drivers/HDAudio It then asked for the location of hda2.dll so I pointed it to the C:/Drivers/HDAudio/HDAFILES directory I then added the system.ini tweaks and rebooted Thankyou

yeah the wavehda=hda2.dll is what I commented out to get my system to to stop crashing, where is the hdacfg file supposed to go?

Its a thinkpad x61, I was using the files from this archive http://turkeys4me.byethost4.com/files/HDADRV9J.7z I made a directory C:/drivers/HDAudio/ and put all the files from the archive in there and then copied hte 4 specified files to HDAFILES in that directory. and then installed it, the codec i was using was the one from the message i linked before which that user got working on his x61. I probably installed it wrong, I managed to fix the crashing by booting the install disc editing the system.ini and commenting out one of the new lines which was loading hda2.dll i think. I wasn't getting any error messages from windows the screen would just freeze and then after like 20 seconds my machine would reboot. I have wiped the drive now since I got bored and wanted to see if me would install on here. I will try again tomorrow. How should the files be placed if I want the driver in c:/drivers/HDAudio ? Thankyou

Can anyone help with getting this setup on my system please. I put hda2.dll,hdarun.exe,hdatsr.exe,genhda16.inf into a folder and then on reboot when pci card came up i installed the driver. But now after a reboot my machine crashes when it reaches desktop and eventually reboots. Thankyou There are correct files for my system here but i'm not sure what to do with then the guide on the first page isn't really clear as ive never used a version of windows this old lel.
