Installing Win98 on P4 2.4 machine
Hi all
I have reformatted my hd on my P4 2.4 machine and want to install Win98. I tried this once before and got an error message. I found the solution on the MS knowledge base, but can't remember what the fix was. So, can anyone tell me how to install Win98 on my P4 2.4 machine, as the knowledge base mentioned the workaround, but I can't remeber it or the exact number of the knowledge base entry. Thanks |

One fix is to slow the CPU below 2.2gHz, install Windows, then install the fix package from Microsoft, and finally to speed the CPU back up to normal speed. -- Richard G.

Thanks This is not an official reply from MS. This is an opinion of a MS 98 operating system user: Use 98SE instead if you got a copy. There's a copy of a WinME version of ndis.vxd floating around the internet in zip format. Find it, unzip to floppy. When the 98 installation bites the dust, overwrite the older version of ndis.vxd with the one on the floppy. |
