    Yearning for 1997...

    How did you run Win98 in 1997? anyway, my favourite year of computing would have been 1995. Man. I had an insane Pentium 133MHz rig, based on the ALL NEW SOCKET 7! Talk about future upgrade capabilities! It had 32mb of RAM (Most puters then only had 8-16mb) It also had a 3 gig scuzzy drive...

    Video problem

    It allows me to fully install Windows 98. I can even get on the net and everything, but with only 16 colors. As soon as I install the nvidia drivers, all I get is a blinking cursor. I can even hear the Win98 loading off the hard drive, and then hear the Windows 98 Start-Up chime, but all I...

    Video problem

    I doubt that it means physical memory, it's something else. The board has no onboard video.

    Video problem

    OK, while attempting to install XP for the tenth time, I noticed an error box pop up for a billionth of a second before it crashed. "Not enough virtual" I couldn't read the rest of it, but I'm guessing the next word would have been memory. What do I do, oh 1337357 of the 1337?

    Video problem

    I'm trying to install Win XP on a P3-600/256mb machine, and can't get past the "34 minutes left" mark. It boots off the CD, formats the hard drive to NTFS, and copies the first files. It then restarts to "Pretty Mode" so that it can copy the rest of the files. When it gets to the 34 minutes...
