Q: I can not seem to Win98SE installed on my machine to get it freezes at certain points at the start of the installation. Sometimes I can upgrade compliance check, but then freezes. Here is what I have on my comp:
Asus k7m
AMD slot? THUNDERBIRD 900mhz
IBM 75gxp hd
toshiba 30GB PC 133 watt antec 16xdvd player
256mb ram
300 ps
msi GeForce 2 Pro 64 MB gts
Now what the hells wrong here? Is the hard drive is messing up, or the video card or processor. I could install win95 fine but just wont go 98se. I have no idea what is wrong. I can get past the first few steps and then freezes on some. Can anyone here help? All my settings are standard, except that I disabled Super Bypass and set my aperture to 128. My proc is not overclocked and everything is standard options.
Best Answer: What are you attempting to do?
Renewing the network IP tells the computer to reset the IP address.
The other networks are wireless signals from area wireless routers and has nothing to do with who might be "sharing" your network. The unsecured networks are using WEP,WPA or WPA2 to secure their systems. The no-signal networks are too far or too weak for your computer to pick up reliably.
In answer to your second question. Your neighbor's computer isn't broadcasting, its receiving, therefore you will not be able to see it unless you have a program that specifically monitors all the systems connected to your router.
Third question. All computers and Network Interface Cards are not made equal. Some pick up networks better than others.
Hope this helped.

Re:We'll i never expected a simple cpu upgrade would cause this much trouble. However, i think that i have fixed my problem. For some odd reason the slotatbird will not work at 900mhz. It will work at 950mhz, 850,800,750,and 700 mhz. I am happy with 950mhz. For now it seems that agp2x and superbypass enabled is actually stabled (who woulda thought). I am running 3dmark and will be installing apps and testing the stability of my machine. If all else fails, i will be forced to underclock it to 850mhz, which sucks. If ne1 has information about this or knows some bios settings or something please reply.

Re:copy the CD contents to the HD and then install from the HD. Go into BIOS and select "restore defaults". If that doesnt work drink heavily and continuously.

Re:We'll after searching OTHER message boards, i figured out my problems. For some odd ass reason the thunderbird will run stable at 800, 850, and 950 (so far). Anything beyond 950 is unstable. My proc. is rated at 900mhz too which sucks. I am pretty positive that one of my bios settings is causing this glaring inconsistency. There is no reason why it should work at 950 and not at 900. ALl my fsb and memory settings are left to default. I figured out why my harddrive wouldnt work and it was because i needed to set it to UDMA mode 4 and not 5, seems UDMA5 is not as backwards compatible as they claim to be. Anyway, anyone out there have an slot a tbird 900mhz??? If so will it work at the default settings for you and what settinsg did u enable in the bios or on the motherboard to get it stable past 900mhz.

Re:I have had similar problem with Win98 when I was installing it on a new k6-III system. And the problem was heat. I wouldn't say that is your problem but it is probable worth checking on. If you are running hot get a good double fan with some thermal grease. Try installing with the case sides off. Why would it install Win95 then? Stranger things have happened.

Re:O quick we need an MCSE certifiee! Lemme see if i can explain this, you take the green wire manubin and render the ….
<< For some reason, it wont work at 900mhz, but it works perfectly at 950mhz??? >>
What muitiplier and FSB speeds are you using? could be that when you had it at 900 the FSB was higher with a low muiti and ur hdd couldnt take it and when you set it to 950 you upped the muiti and lowered FSB, iunno just a guess! good luck! I remember my nightmares with win98 installations and protection errors! ugh! Just kept a ghosted copy of a clean install afterwards

Re:Jeez finally figured it out. For some reason, it wont work at 900mhz, but it works perfectly at 950mhz??? anyways i just installed windows and for some reason my ibm 75gxp is not being recognized. windows is using compatibility mode drivers. i have never had an issue with the standard microsoft drivers and i thought that it would be ok to use them. What do i have to use ot get the ibm ata 100 drive to work on my udma 66 only k7m

Re:As I wrote earlier. I have a newer K7M with Super Bypass enabled and a 900 Tbird at 1100 and it is stable as a rock. I'm using a three disk SCSI RAID 0 with a Mylex controller and F/W SCSI-2 Seagate Cheetahs. Video is a GeForce 2 MX. All the BIOS settings are at defaults except as required to turn off the on-board IDE disk controllers as they are unneeded. I'm using the AMD miniport driver from their web site and the latest VIA 4in1's. VIO is set to 3.31 volts and I have core voltage at 1.85. I have Alpha P7125 cooling and temps are below 90deg. F full load. Do not shadow BIOS or video ram in CMOS. OS is Win98SE and I haven't had a lockup or blue screen in over 6 weeks no matter what I am running. Just be patient and try different approaches. Don't give up.

Re:here is the problem. My computer is unstable at 900mhz. When i underclocked the processor to 700mhz it installed win98se without any problems and is very stable. I thought that the k7m was able to use 1ghz processors??? Is it incompatible with thunderbirds? My revision is fairly new because it allows superbypass in the bios. What settings should i use to get it stable at 900mhz+

Re:Make a win98 directory on your C: drive first
C:\ md win98
Then assuming your cd drive is E:
get to E:\win98
and type
copy *.* C:\win98
and that should do it unless I'm forgetting anything, cold medicine is having its way with my head
right now though.
good luck,

Re:CD IS NOT SCRATCHED. Here is what happens, it will go through the first couple of steps and then it will hang. The floppy drive light will turn on and stay on too.
Re:this happened to me… its quite possible that the cd might be scratched – that will usually cause the install to hang without any error messages
Re:What brand of ram are you using? That could be the problem.
Re:Have you tried just copying the win98 directory off the cd to the drive first and running setup from there to see if it is your cd drive or something else?
Re:Try another video card like an old PCI or ISA bus derelict if you have one.
Re:Ok i am doing a fresh install on a freshly formatted drive. The thing is that i cannot get past hte first couple of steps of the windows installation. It will just freeze. The screen will get a little corrupted and it will freeze. Is this due to the video card and the fact that it is running at agp 2x and that it should be running at 1x to be stable??? whats goin on here.
Re:maybe your win98se (or "backup") is scratched? that would be one way to explain being able to install 95 but not 98
Re:ok thanks i will try it out
Re:I have a K7M with a slotA Tbird and it is so stable it is boring. I found somewhere that there is an error in the book and I/O voltage should be set to 3.31v (VIO). Also kick the core voltage up to 1.85 with the board jumpers. I'm using a home made GFD set at 10 and FSB 110mhz for a rock solid 1100 mhz. Don't forget the AMD miniport driver and the VIA southbridge patch.
