Hi,
I have an Asus A7vm266 ( something like that) motherboard. It uses nforce 2
chipset.
had lot of problems gettin drivers to work on win98 se. made system
unstable.
u might be better off with XP.
Win98se drivers seem problematic. spent almost like a week tryin to get it
to work.
about geforce, check Nvidia's site for drivers. they do have 3d
acceleration support. did u download the driver from their site? u might
have to do some tuning. just check the download for instructions. should be
in readme file
HTH,
Sanjay

VMWare

I'm finally giving VMWare a whirl, and am hoping someone here can help.
VMWare installed okay, and I was able to set up a virtual machine with
Windows-98SE. However, I am unable to get sound working, and am also
having some video issues.
My motherboard uses the nForce-2 chipset, with onboard sound. I was
able to get the nForce Linux drivers up and running, and have sound
outside of VMWare, but sound is disabled on 98SE within the VMWare
virtual machine.
I was hoping that just installing the 98 drivers off the CD that came
with my board would do the job, but the installer claims that there is
no compatible hardware installed.
As for video, I am currently using the driver that comes with VMWare,
VMWare SVGA-2. That enabled me to set my resolution properly (1024x768
- 32-Bit color). However, that particular driver doesn't allow
realization of my video card's full potential. The card is a 256MB
GeForce 5600 FX. Like with the nForce drivers, the nVidia drivers for
Linux are working fine, but I can't get certain features working under
Linux, specifically Direct 3D, and the Windows installer for the video
card does not see the card as a compatible device. So what does it take
to enable 3D features under VMWare? I'm trying the Windows version of
America's Army as my test app, and it won't run because Direct 3D isn't
working.
Any advice on these problems?
Thanks.
