If the game is not requiring high performance display card,you can try to
install Windows 98 in Virtual PC under Windows XP or Windows 2k.

98 has problems with machines with over 512 megs ram. Can't remember offhand
but there's some edit you can make to System.ini (VCache entry if mem serves me right) alleviates that for many. "itstone" wrote in message ...

system ini to add the vcache remarks but i think i'll just write it off as a lost cause but thanks anyways but it do work in safe mode? "pjp" wrote: 98 has problems with machines with over 512 megs ram. Can't remember offhand but there's some edit you can make to System.ini (VCache entry if mem serves me right) alleviates that for many. yes (if anyone else is reading here, if you have too much memory you should press F8 to go to command prompt at the first reboot during the install and there before the rest of the installation edit system.ini to have MaxPhysPage=3FE00 under [386Enh] section, or =3C000 if that don't work, and MinFileCache=100000 and MaxFileCache=100000 under [vcache] section and then reboot.) (or so I have read anyway, I don't have as much memory, yet) ok well here goes i managed to get windows 98se to install and it gets all the way to windows is starting up for the first time boot screen and thats as for as it goes it just sits there doin nothing no Hdd activity nothing after about 45seconds into the boot process no error msg's are givin so i couldnt tell you if its a hardware problem or a software one for that mater i thought it might be waiting for the network but after leaving it sitting for 20mins and still nothing im at a loss as to what is going on anybody here have any ideas at all |
