 |
|
Does anyone know of drivers that will work with the Intel 945G/GL chipset
and
Windows 98. I'm speaking about the First Edition of Windows 98, not Windows
98SE.
I've tried a number of drivers discovered on the net, but so far without
success.
Intell provides drivers only for the Second Edition of Windows 98.
Thanks.

Windows 98 is broken. Even Microsoft did not provide fixes for many of its
problems. The fact that they got away with what they pulled there is a
disgrace - IMO there should have been a class action suit against them for
fraud. Wherever I've had a Win98 system which is acting up, I feel quite
justified in stealing a Win98SE to install in its place... so that I can
install the patches required to make things work right. My advice: find
someone with a Win98SE system and get a copy of their system install CD.

Thanks for the reply. There are times when I'd certainly agree with you.
I already have the disks for 98SE, ME, 2K and XP, but really want to be able
to run 98 with this chipset.
So, anyone else out there running 98 with the 945G/GL Intel chipset?

Hmm - OK but sounds like self flagellation to me.:-)

What you're saying simply isn't logical. Win98 is full of holes and
bugs. Win98se was essentially the "SP" fix for it. Why you would want
to run the original 98 in place of it's "fix" (SE) simply does not make
sense, and shoots your credibility to hell. Are you trolling? BTW,
your top posting definitely makes you appear as clueless as you may seem
to be, given that you **insist** on running a broken OS on modern
hardware. Geez!

Any MS product is broken, except maybe for MS Basic for Altair. So
what is your point?

Doubt it. Probably as many people as would try to run the original win95 or
windows 3.1 on it? Why WHIP yourself trying to run a broken OS on it? I run
98SE on my 845G and IMHO it runs better and crashes less on 98SE than it
does on win2K! Most of the time I run mandrake 9.1 trying to avoid the borg
altogether.

Thanks for all the replies.
Guess I may have to move on to another OS, or dig out my old HP when I want
to use 98.

Isn't it funny that other companies accused MS of delaying Win98 release to
gain time for integrating IE into shell, while in reality W98Gold was rushed
to the shelves too early. I write drivers for WDM environment (Win98 through
Windows XP), and NDIS and USB problems are so nasty in 98. Makes me invent
kludges to work around them.

Just wondering why would you ever want or need to use the original 98?

TOP posting proves nothing ... it's more efficient in some circumstances for
