Hello I have brought this PS2 keyboard for my windows 98 PC it is no brand and is made in china I don't know when it was made but I think it is modern anyway the keyboard works but the multimedia keys on the top doesn't how do I make them work on windows 98se?
I'm trying to play the house of the dead and the game itself has no problems, but I don't want to use the cd every time, and neither to mount and image, I'm looking to just had my games on a folder and I already found a lot of solutions for my other ones, but this games just doesn't let me, I tried modifying the paths, installing old no cd patch, but I just can't get it to work without the cd, is there a way to do it or I just have to play it the old way.
For this build, I (almost) went with period‑correct hardware for Windows 98: a Pentium II 350 MHz on a Soyo SY‑6BA+ IV (Intel 440BX) board plus a Sound Blaster 16. But I couldn’t resist… I had to add an NVMe SSD into the mix just to see if it works...
So rebuild my old win 98 box as finally got a new PSU
P4 1.4
GeForce 3 Ti
Sound blaster Live Audigy
256MB ram
2 X 40Gb
1 x DVD combo
So my question is what install media would you guys recommend,
I been looking around and seen a Windows 98 3rd addition iso unofficial I know but in the past I’ve installed the service pack on top in the past.
I’ve heard people mention the windows 98 quick installer.
Or stick with my official windows 98 SE cd?
Clue jr spyglass mysteries cdrom play set! Seems to be rare ish since I can’t find many listings
I can't find anything about it on the Internet, it's an industrial model. It's 37" and doesn't have hdmi. I think it might be plasma?
Anyway, it powers on and I can't wait to get it home and play some games on it. This sort of thing never happens to me!
Basically the title. I have an all original Gateway G6-233. When I have the CD Drive set to Mode 2, Master, the OS and BIOS cannot see it, but it will open upon pressing the open button. However, when I switch to Mode 1, Master, the OS and BIOS do detect the drive but pressing the open button does nothing.
The CD Drive is on its own IDE bus, FWIW, so there shouldn't be any Master/Slave conflicts. Maybe I should just set it to CSEL? I'm kind of at a loss for what to do aside from finding and trying a completely different CD Drive.
Update: File>Eject will open the CD tray, it's just that the button to do that will no longer open it. Strange.
i have been upgrading my build as much as i can so here are the specs
GA-8I865GME-775-RH (rev. 1.x)
Intel Pentium 4 650 SL8Q5 3.4Ghz
OCZ Platinum (PC 3200) 1GB
ATI Radeon X700 PRO AGP 256MB
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 (SB0240)
Power-Man 450W Power Supply IP-S450CQ2-0
Kingston SA400S37120G 120GB SSD
Lian Li Vintage PC-V300Silver
let me know if there is something wrong with it
finally finished working on my Compaq Deskpro EN build. I wanted to see if I could make a truly capable Windows 98 machine in a small form factor without sacrificing too much performance.
Specs:
I tested it with Duke Nukem 3D, C&C Red Alert, and Half Life. It is more than powerful enough for these games, but the airflow in this compact case is definitely a struggle. It gets very hot after long sessions, so a cooling mod is definitely in the works for the next video.

Hello. I was wondering if I could install and use Windows 98 on my Optiplex GX280. If so, what drivers do I need. Thank you
I'm getting really frustrated, just made a fresh install of 98 on my OptiPlex 4100 and am having trouble with this overlapping and rolling screen effect on my crt. I know the crt isn't the problem because I've tested it on my xp build. At first I thought maybe it was a bad graphics card so I switched out the original Geforce 2 with a MX 440, Same symptoms. Then I tested it with a slightly newer 4:3 LCD monitor and it worked fine.
Please help. I installed a fresh new install of Windows 98SE (Winworld ISO) and I got to the part where it boots up on the Hard Drive and it’s searching for the drivers to install. The very first one is the Plug and Play Monitor and my mouse and keyboard has zero input. It’s like it’s frozen. If I go to bios, they work fine. If I boot up in Safe Mode, it works fine without issue. I have used the ISO on dozens of pcs. This is the first time I’ve ever had this issue.
I’ve tried unplugging everything except the essentials (motherboard/HDD) and disabled the parallel and serial ports. I tried using a different monitor, still nothing. I loaded the bios in default also. Nothing seems to work. I’m at a loss here.
Specs:
Motherboard- ASUS CUEP2-M
CPU- Intel Pentium III 1GHz 133FSB
RAM- 256MB SDR
GPU- ATI Radeon 9000
Soundblaster Live! SB0100
20GB HDD

i have a Lexar SDHC 64GB card in an cheapo SD2IDE 44Pin adapter for a Dell Laptop and at some point durring boot windows has started screeching "one or more of your disk drives may have developed bad sectors" but takes forever to scan, but my Main PC running windows 10 comes back w/ not a Single Issue.
This is the first time i'd had this problem with one of these adapters reporting the problem. is it just some Dirty bit set or something?
My power supply went out on my Proteva rig. I bought a Antec Earthwatts EA-500D on eBay and it was sadly DOA. From this experience, I’m not sure if I want to buy another used PSU on eBay and hope and pray it works. So, I’m looking for new ATX power supply with 20 pin, floppy, and Molex connections if possible. What do y’all recommend?
Specs:
CPU: Intel Pentium III 1GHZ 133MHz
RAM: 256 MB
Motherboard: ASUS Socket 370 CUEP2-M
GPU: ATI Radeon 9000
OS: Windows 98SE
Specs:
P4M800PRO-M V2.0
2GB DDR2 (1GB*2)
Core 2 Duo E6600
PNY 7800 GS 256mb AGP
The card scored 29xxx in XP and 23xxx in 98
Also got wifi to work with the system
I may get an X800 GT or 9800 Pro later but they probably won't be faster

It's still working with no problems. Do you think it's worth a few bucks or is it garbage?
