Windows 98 graphics problem

Would also argue that it is a driver problem. Is the Mabo's chipset driver installed? The error message speaks of uninstalling the refresh rate because it was user-defined, perhaps this frequency of the screen is too high for the graphics card and it does not manage to meet it and therefore uses x with a color depth of 16bit, or the monitor is too old and cannot process the setting.

Regardless, you should definitely buy a Windows 10 PC. Using the Internet on Windows versions up to Windows 7 is simply suicidal. Unfortunately, you didn't tell us which graphics card is built into the computer and which monitor you actually want to operate on it.

I suspect that it could have something to do with your monitor and possibly missing drivers if it works on your father's old CRT with a higher resolution and color depth.

Is this graphics card sufficient for Windows 98? This question would also be important so that I can still get the right monitor. However, the graphics are low and I cannot move the slider for the setting because it is completely missing. I've had this problem before, but I changed the PC and thought it would work properly again with the change. Ubuntu thinks the screen is only x But the laptop screen is big Kp as big but on vista x always worked.

I have a laptop from with Windows Hello, I am facing the following problem: my monitor has a native resolution of x Since my graphics card can only play games at this resolution with a few fps, I would like to change my resolution to x If I do this in the normal way in the Windows settings, the resolution changes, but also the sharpness of the image as it is stretched to the full size of the monitor.

I would therefore like to change the resolution but still not lose any image quality by making the monitor virtually smaller, i. Is this possible? I have a laptop with Windows 3. Do you know if there is a driver somewhere that works under Windows 3. I've had an old TV standing around for ages.

Now I thought to myself I would use this as a second screen for my PC. However, I can't get the resolution, it's always too small. So Windows is always a bit bigger. I own some old games that came out around the turn of the millennium.

When I start the games, they are only shown very small in the middle of the monitor. I learned that this is due to the high resolution of my monitor, which the game is not designed for. My question to you would now be whether there is an emulator with which you can artificially turn down the resolution for this game.

I have already played around with the compatibility mode, but if someone has a particular idea how to solve this with the compatibility mode, please answer as well. The installation also worked with the setup. In the first part, I get to the main menu and can also change all the settings. However, if I want to start a mission and the level is loaded, the game freezes and I can only end it via the task manager, which indicates that the program is not responding.

In the second part, a graphics bug occurs immediately after the game has started, when the intro or the developer logo is usually shown.

I can hear the sound of the game and also see the menu mouse pointer on a black background. If you try to install Guest Additions after you have installed Windows 95 and Windows 98 with VBox, you will get an error. As a result, you will have problems changing the resolution of the virtual machine because there is no support for VirtualBox Guest Additions for Windows 95 and In this article, we will examine how to solve the screen resolution on Win 95 and Win 98 in VirtualBox software.

After performing the Win 95 installation on VirtualBox , we will use 3rd party software for the virtual machine resolution problem solution.

You can download this software from the link at the bottom of the article. As you can see in the image below, there are only 2 options in the Color Palette section. In these options require being the 32 bit color option. And in the Desktop Area , it can not be configured the screen resolution now. Double click on the scitech-display. Open Display Properties of Win 95 and click the Advanced Properties button as shown in the following image. In the Advanced Display Properties window, click the Change button.

Also, the Desktop Area option is active. By configuring the settings as shown below, you can resolve Win 95 and Win 98 display resolution error. Select the Apply the settings without restarting option and click on the OK button. When Cacheman first runs it reads the current windows settings and displays them. It does not change any settings until you activate them or use the pre-set Profiles.

In the right pane click the Disk Cache tab. But I did not want to discourage you from trying. I think Microsoft has extended online updates until next year for 98SE..

I've just had an Idea, I've set up casheman pc seems to be getting worse what about the autoexec files, should I avoid using these from the bootable floppy disc and try and reload windows straight from the win 98 disc or is that not possible.

Could it be that the start disc is carrying over some old garbage from the previous system? Did you take a hdd from old system and place on your new board???? No this is all new apart from the cd drive and the start disc.

Exactally what Asus motherboard is it??? Maybe this motherboard you have has onboard video wich has to be disabled first Also little high for 98 aslo would you have a stick laying around of ddr A8V delux is the motherboard I could probably find ddr somewhere around seems as if she's playing up real bad now to much messing about.

But what about the autoexec. What does autoexec. Also there is no on board video to disable because it doesn't provide any monitor connection. But I do know these are some of the things you back up if that helps you.. Do I need Autoexec. I am puzzled about altering either of these files if I needed to, as they seem to have nothing to do as they are! I assume their form is attributable to Win98, since Win95 was 'normal'? Also, another member of the family is having trouble getting Klik and Play to run with Win95 on a Pentium with 32Mb memory.

It runs fine on a with Win3. An error message refers to not being able to find the KNPS. DLL file. Having looked at your printouts, we can confirm that these are the standard files produced by a Win98 installation. You're right, they don't seem to do much at all - the minimalist approach is because almost everything is controlled by Windows and the Registry these days, so the old BAT files are little more than a hangover from DOS days.

As for your other problem, we've never used the program in question, so we can't be per cent sure of the solution. If it's there but not in the application's home directory, do the reverse - some programs look for shared DLLs in the Windows directory, and some keep custom DLLs in their own folder.

If you can't find it, search the original CD for it, and try copying it to both locations. Well thanks tbrunt3, I'm not sure whether the bit about the dll files applys to me because this is a new installation. What I'm really wanting to know right now is whether I should do a reinstall of win98 without using the boot disc.

I think I know how to do this now. Just loading up straight from the win98 disc. Or am I just wasting my time? What do you think? When installing Windows 98SE using the setup floppy boot disk there is no information written back to the floppy so nothing is carried over to the next install on another system from the floppy. Please don't over look the value of the chipset drivers and Windows Update. Windows Update. During a typical shutdown process, any data written just before shutdown may still reside on the hard disk's hardware cache.

Older processors typically execute the shutdown code slowly enough that the hard disk's cache flushed the written data to the physical media before the machine lost power.

As processors have increased in speed, the shutdown time has decreased to the point that data may still be in the hardware cache when a computer is turned off, and that data may be lost.

This increased processor time, coupled with the fact that hard drive caches have increased in size further increase the chance of data loss. If you add new hardware or peripheral devices to your system, however, and you experience instability or find that a new peripheral device does not function correctly, update to the latest VIA Hyperion driver package which may contain updates that will increase compatibility. Also note that the inf file version in these drivers which contains chipset IDs dates from late If you are running Win98SE on a system from or later, you will require later release drivers so that your chipset is properly identified.

It would be best to allow Windows Update to install at least all the critical updates for Windows 98SE..
