Re: All In Wonder 128 Driver 4.12.6269 no good... Really?
We also tried re-installing the sound hardware drivers, just to be safe. This is driving me batty.

Any ideas why, even though everything else on the

Re: NEW TX5 LOADS 2 DISPLAY DRIVERS ?????????
They're easy to swap and lack the copplexity (and required interaction during boot) of dual-boot systems.

Re: ***Hardware malfunction***system has halted

Re: Re-installing Windows
With stable hardware/drivers NT (even 3.1) is extremely stable and reliable. The most common problems you will run into (and this is part of the fault of NT I can agree, even if it's not any fault of the actual OS kernel) is that bad application installers will install over newer DLL:s with their own one who is

Re: Re-Installing Win95 Help
By installing from the hard drive you fool Windows into thinking that the hard drive folder is the Windows CD so that it will go there (C:\Win98) in the future for its support files. You will have to get all Windows critical updates again, update the browser and hardware drivers. What a pain! Tac.

It's not reinstalling the apps I'm worried about, for me that's just a matter of gritting my teeth and accepting the time it will take. My worry is installing hardware/drivers - never done it before.
