ZortMcGort11 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 You're trying to an install an operating system which is ten years older than what your computer is designed for. Thats you problem. I googled "HP Compaq dc7800 " and downloaded the specs which are in PDF format.The first line at the top of the page says, "HP Recommends Windows Vista Business." In other words, you're never going to get that thing to work properly. If you want to run Windows 98, find a computer that is in the range of Pentium II or Pentium III, probably no more than 1 GHz processor and less than 512 MB Ram.

dencorso Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Of course it's possible to get 98 running in your machine, and you've come to the right place for how to.Read a little around this forum, starting with the threads linked from my signature below.

CharlotteTheHarlot Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 If you want to run Windows 98, find a computer that is in the range of Pentium II or Pentium III, probably no more than 1 GHz processor and less than 512 MB Ram.You probably are not aware because you are new here but you are posting on the very forum where nearly all the Win9x "limits" have been demolished already.Browse through the Win9x Forum pages and Windows 9x Member Projects and read the sticky threads also.P.S. Even with no modifications Win9x runs fine well into the 3+GHz range on Pentium 4 single core socket 478 Prescotts and some even have it working on multi-cores although only one is usable. It's more about finding motherboards that have chipset drivers supporting Win9x than CPU model or frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdfg Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Everything works now great except when i shutdown it says power meter crashes and when i open firefox (with the kernalex project i saw on msfn) it says " The MSVCR100.DLL file is linked to missing export Kernal32.dll:InterlockedPopEntrySList" Edited February 15, 2013 by asdfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 > The MSVCR100.DLL file is linked to missing export Kernal32.dll:InterlockedPopEntrySListOn my system, this api is provided via Kexstubs. Before Kexstubs, it was sometimes possible to just use KnownDLLs to forward MSVCR100 to MSVCR90 (try searching the forums for MSVCR100.dll).
