One other thing while it's rebooting.
I couldn't find any place to Scroll and select "8-Tap Anistropic" under the 3D settings.
Going to fix the monitor setting now.
NEC Multisync 3FGe Monitor.
Why do these speakers beep real loud for 5 secnds everytime the desktop appears ?
Not in the right hole ?
All the settings are done.
Except that one I couldnt find (8-tap Anistropic)
Rebooted. Back at the desktop.

Smokin' a see-gar while I type....
Go HERE for that monitor driver.
Th speakers--plugged into the second hole from the gameport (joystick port)? Are they powered speakers? Should be hearing that dorky Microsoft sound when you get to the desktop. If not, check your connections and check Volume Control or Audio Properties in Control Panel and see if the volume is turned up or off).
You don't need sound to run the 3DMark2000 test--nor for the demo (but it makes the demo rock...). Will check back in a little while...
Looks like some of my posts aren't getting through...so if this one does, and it's redundant...oh well.
Are you hearing sound? Should be hearing that dorky Microsoft chime when you get to the desktop. If not, check your speaker connection (2nd hole from the gameport on the sound card). Go to Audio Properties in Control Panel or Volume Control in your Start Menu(Programs) and see if the volume is down or off. Are these powered speakers?
Either way, go ahead and run 3DMark 2000 benchmark--post back with your score.
Don't need sound for the benchmark, but need it for the demo....
OH MY LORD! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Bistro ! This is making me sick at my stomach ! I have never seen anything so realistic ! Especially in that tube ! I felt like I was in an intestine. Oh! it's on my chair https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Sorry !
SCORE: 4514
I'm shutting down this old thing and swapping the modem over to the new one.
Hope I get back !
I apologize...you're supposed to take Dramamine before benchmarking. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Good score. Some other time, we'll work on tweaking that up a bit. Do you have sound?
If so, run the demo at "Optimal". Go get some popcorn first....or a barf bag....or invite the neighbors over....or barf popcorn on the neighbors....
QOH
It's a boy , ehh. I'll take my cigar now https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Now the Queen will Lord it over ??
Congratulations!!!

I printed the post and will check it out.
Plus https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ I got out my Dos for Dummies book.

Gee...I hope you make it.... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/. Oh well..I was about to say that that system was not designed for that modem and if you put it in you're liable to....just kidding.
Anyway, as I was saying (if you ever get back to read this...), you need to do a few adjustments here. Not sure if I included these on the tip sheet, but here goes anyway....
Control Panel>System>Performance Tab>File System>Hard Disk>set for "Network Server" and read ahead all the way to the right.
Floppy Disk Tab: UNCHECK
CD-ROM Tab: Cache size--Large, Quad speed +
Removable Drives: CHECK the box
Troubleshooting: leave alone
Go back to the main menu to the Graphics button: Set for Full. Hit OK for main menu.
While you're there at the main menu, check to make sure it's reporting the correct amount of RAM and that File System and Virtual Memory are 32-bit.
Now for the Virtual memory--not sure if you changed this yet, and not sure what I told you to change it to; but here's what you oughta do at this point. Go in there and select to manage your own VM. Put the minimum at 128, maximum at 300. That will handle the vid card and programs just fine. Hit OK and ignore that dire warning from Windows. Answer positively , then reboot the system.
Get those monitor drivers in there as soon as you can--do it the same as you did the ATA drivers.
A word about monitors...i know you're probably now chomping at the bit to get a bigger, better one...that's a good thing. A bad thing would be to spend your children's inheritance for a super deluxe whiz-bang model that you really don't need. 200-300 bucks will get you a nice 17, 18 or 19 inch monitor. Check the Net, look at bulletin boards, watch the papers and TV for Computer fairs (can get a nice one at one of those fairs, but watch it--usually "no returns"). Go with a name you can trust, i.e. Sony, Viewsonic, Samsung. Beware of names/ads such as "Burnout", "Chinese Special", "refurbished", "Warranty? HA!", "Fire Sale! Slightly Soggy/Half-Melted, but Works!", etc., etc. Make sure there is a good warranty with it--3 years is preferred.
Used is OK, but you gotta know what you're looking for and be able to "age" it---know how much it was used and for how long.
The soapbox is open....
Mosaic
tried both ways and got this
Not resetting system File
Io,sys
MSDOS.Sys
Edb.sys
So all are there. Thank you !!
Even printed it out all but the non attribed ones.

And another thing.... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Speakers: Not sure if the ones you're using are powered (I should hope so....). Lots of good PC speaker sets out there to choose from. Look at your computer space. Where would they go and would anything be blocking them? Would it look "cluttered"? Do I want free-standing or monitor-mounted? My system is in a computer armoire--not too much room for free-standing speakers; so I have some Labtec monitor-mounted ones on either side of the screen. Added Creative Cambridge Soundworks to it..two small speakers up above with a sub-woofer down below. When cranked up, the vibes are like being in a California earthquake. Was just my preference, not a recommendation. Besides, I gotta get permission to crank it up from the other half first, so I don't do it too often https://discussions.virtualdr.com/.
I'm here. Had to redo the modem in here. Fired right up. For some reason the DUN is just an icon. Doesn't do anything. I checked add/ remove Win set up and checked that box and rebooted (several times ) but still not working. Also it had a problem with my CDROM but it's ok again. I just asked it to find new hardware.
That file is back again when I reboot. The one that went away after netmeeting was removed.
I'll be doing all those settings now up above here.
