Thanks a lot for the update.

BTW:

They also posted recently Forceware 81.85:

I'll try them soon and post here my findings, especially related to DVD/movie PowerDVD playback, which was broken in older Forceware 77.72:

MDGx,

on my machine 81.85 breaks Fast Reboot and starting Windows from MS-Dos. Going back to 77.72 fixes that. Can you or someone else confirm this or is it a local issue ?

I have installed Forceware 81.98 on Windows 98 SE.

Works great, no errors so far.

I'm using a GeForce Ti 4600 AGP.

A friend of mine tried on WinME, and works ok for him too. He's using a GeForce 6600 AGP.

Forceware 81.85 for Win9x/ME indeed has some bugs:

if I try to restart Win98 SE UI [by typing WIN at C:\ prompt] after exiting to native MS-DOS, my PC freezes, and I must hit the reset button.

Hope this helps.

Yes, that's what I meant, but I'm getting it with both 81.85 and 81.98.

Actually, I just tried 81.98 on another Windows 98 SE computer, and it does lock up whenever FastReboot is enabled.

Also locks up when trying to restart Windows after exiting to native MS-DOS by typing WIN and pressing Enter.

So I had to revert back to older 71.84 , which so far is bug free.

Anything wrong with the 77.72 drivers that I'm unaware of ?
