Ya sure did, bistro.

Happened to my Aunt too, with her computer. She threw a fit and they didn't have the same one so she got a bigger better one.
Evidently, ya just havta get mean!
I'll be practicin'. http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/s/net4/splat.gif
Train it is beautiful. 54 degrees! More likely wind burnt. No wonder those beaches look deserted. Have a good time. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Edit in above https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Below Neahkahnie Mountain and Manzanita Beach.
Believe it or not it can get mean with people. Large industry there, tourist that is.
Night all https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
No computer at all. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

and post back
I'll work on a tip sheet this weekend on installing hardware into the S500 case for ya'll. It'll work in conjunction with that site on building a PC, but specific to that case. Nothing real elaborate, just some things to watch out for that'll save you a few headaches.
bistro? I been thinking about these drivers. Windows has it's own stored in the CD and uses those to get things going. Then I use the ones you are sending for the Prophet II Video card. Does anything else need better ones that I'll need to go get after things are up and running, because you mentioned having all the drivers installed before "tweaking"?
Not really. You can always download the latest drivers for the other stuff later and update. 98SE doesn't have the latest, but it does a fair job of putting in the correct ones (or at least adequate enough to get it running). For Soundblaster Live! you'll want the Liveware 3 drivers. The problem is that most of the latest drivers for your modem, SB card, etc. are larger than what would fit on a floppy for you. The object is to get it up and running first, then do all the "tweaks". You'll want to have your printer CD or floppy ready--98SE sometimes has a problem with identifying printers and may ask you for the driver. Same for the (new?)modem.
I've got the CD for the printer. I'll worry about installing it later. After the fear subsides.
Modem will be new, so it should have a CD. The CDROM is new, but has no stuff with it. Just came in a bag. My friend gave it to me. And the floppy drive is used, but I know it works.
You think I'll need some sort of CD to install those, or will Windows recognise them ?
I have never had to go get any drivers for anything. Of course, there is nothing fancy on this computer.
It will remain in tact. Not robbing anything from this one.
When installing Windows, leave the printer unplugged from the system--otherwise every time you reboot, it's going to keep asking you for the printer driver. Can add the printer later. When you use the Win 98 bootup disk, it will put generic drivers on for the CD-ROM and it will work fine. Can update those drivers later too. Who knows? Windows may recognize the make/model and install the proper drivers for the CD-ROM upon installation. If not, again you can always update it with the driver CD later.
Floppy drive is the floppy drive is the floppy drive. No drivers necessary--Windows recognizes it.
Hmmmmm. must be tired. No driver CD for that CD-ROM? What's the make/model?

It's a Mitsumi 48X.
What do they do, just look in here (or there https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ ) and see if I have the latest thing? Then tell me what I need kinda like Windows Update?
Are trying to trick me, Mosaic? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
I fell for that new technology take your picture thing when I first got on here. I held my face close to the monitor just like they said to. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ I was skeptical...but I still did it.
Ok. Thanks. I'll go see what's going on over there.
I'll also put the links in my favorites so when I move those over onto a floppy, they'll be there too.
Mosaic,
Everything was OUT OF DATE !
A big booming voice came over my speakers and laughed hysterically and told me to GET A NEW COMPUTER ! http://www.zing.com/picture/p3690b8d...c/ff3ff6ca.gif
https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ ...how embarrassing.
I just dropped by and saw your "drop by" Mosaic1... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/. Yeah, sometimes those scans can help, but it might be a good idea to run AdAware right after. They sometimes like to leave behind a "gift" ("phone-home" ware).
https://discussions.virtualdr.com/But my Adaware is Out of Date... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Everything works fine. I'm gonna leave it alone. It was fun to watch all my little stuff being looked at.
I'll go see what it left behind.
Nothing suspicious found.
I emptied the Temp. files and cookies.
Speaking of that, is it ok to go to Internet options > Settings> View Files and then Select ALL and delete them right out of that folder. It says to do it from the "button" but I look back in there and they are still there ! Mostly just cookies, So I delete them again. Is that "dangerous"?
No, it's not "dangerous" unless you like to keep a cookie or two for quick access to certain web sites. The delete options in IE get rid of everything EXCEPT cookies for the above reason. You can go into Windows Explorer under Temporary Internet Files and manually delete those.
Just a clarification for your tweak sheet for your particular monitor:
After making sure it's refresh rate is set for 60mhz, when you run 3DMark2000, do the following:
Select "New Custom Benchmark"
Under #4, select "Change"
Scroll to "800x600x16 bit color"
Hit "OK"
Select the "Benchmark" button--not "Demo"
(that's for later... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ )
Remember, it won't work unless you have a 3D card installed....don't try it on the system you are running now.
Anyhoo, time to call it a night.
PS--AdAware 4.0 (newest) is on the CD coming atchya...should be there soon.
