To resolve some otherwise intractable issues, I've just nuked the C: drive on my kids' box and reinstalled 98SE. No big deal. However, Windows Explorer now shows duplicate entries in the left pane for the C: drive. If I select C: in the left pane, the right pane only shows the one entry, but...

Normally I am able to locate drivers for fairly much any hardware for a PC. This time, fresh install of 98SE and the box has a Gigabyte GA-622-32C flavour of nVidia Riva TNT2 M64 video card. I have just spent four hours trawling the web, and discovered that this card is more generic than corn...

How large a FAT32 partition can the 98SE flavour of Fdisk create? Is there a version that can be used with 98SE to achieve 80MB FAT32 partitions?

I have IE properties set to "run: maximised" (as i do with almost all apps). However, if I right click a link in the IE window and choose "open in new window" the subsequent spawned instance of IE no longer initialises maximised (full screen). Is there a setting some where that allows control over...
