WangoTango Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I currently have a pretty small hard drive; Capacity: 4.02 GB. I already tried installing my bigger hard drive which had WindowsMe on it to another Windows98SE, and I wound up with a stuck screen resolution of 640x480 and a 4-bit color. I was wondering if anyone could help me to correct this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More hardware details are needed (drives, mobos), software (OS before/after). I re-read your post a bunch of times and can not make heads or tails out of it.P.S. Nugent kicks arse!

WangoTango Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) 1. Took the bigger hard drive out of a Windows Me computer2. Took out the Hard drive in the Windows 98 computer and replaced it with the Windows Me one3. Installed the Windows Me hard driveNow I'm stuck between one Resolution & Color. I'm a little new at this but I think it might be because of the outdated Win98 graphics adapter? It was fine when I had 98 installed. Now I can't change it at all.

herbalist Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Most likely the WinME drive does not have the correct display drivers for the 98 PC. What make and model is each PC and what graphics card is in the Win98 unit now? Most likely you'll have to download the proper display drivers for WinME and the display card your using. Win98 and WinME occasionally use the same display driver with certain graphics cards, including ones built into the motherboard. When you said you can't change it, did the OS just fail to find the correct one to install? If so, you could try installing the original hard drive as a slave and let WinME search the 98 drive for a driver. You might have to manually enter the locations of the files. Start with windows\inf and any subfolders.Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
