Grand Prix 4 doesn´t work on my Geforce 2 GTS

Titanus

I have a friend who has an ASUS-7700 Geforce 2 GTS Deluxe in a Pentium III. The CPU should be working at 800 Mhz, the top speed that both board and processor should take. However, since he has an ASUS MB that allows overclocking, his CPU current speed is 866 Mhz.

Slow Network connection

calabris

I have a P4 1. 7 system with 256K RAMDAC. I have a 100mb network card but for some reason the network connection is VERY slow. The 100 light is lit on the card and on the network switch but it is transferring slower than 10mb.

Using computers for years and I am stumped on this problem.

Chunny

I have an SB live x-gamer (non 5. 1) coupled with a ASUS k7X mother board with all the via drivers and stuff, so the AGP and such works great. Now a last year when I bought the computer and it was running windows 98, the Soundblaster IRQ was at 5 and I was happy, pop in a boot disk and all my dos games work perfectly.

In Win 2k there is a way to select an app. to run a different version of DirectX. Is there a way to do the same in 98se? I have a few games that do not like DirectX8. 1 and I want to force them to use the older versions they were designed for.

Stuck in DOS compatability mode

twolfson

I just picked up a used IBM PL300 desktop and I'm having problems setting it up. After fdisk and formating the HD I loaded Win98SE. The load went OK but when it was done there was a message box telling me that the unit is operating in dos compatability mode and my master boot record may have been modified.
