MSI TI-4200 Win 98SE Rebooting

I needed to create a Window 98SE disk so I can play some of my games that don't work on XP Pro. I have used the latest drivers, but after I installed the drivers for the card, the PC reboots and goes into safe mode. On my XP drive, it all works great. How can I find out what the problem is? How can I fix this so I can get to playing my games again?
Thanks, Dean.
FYI ...
nVidia 45.23 drivers
Intel 845PESV board with Pentium 4 3.06 Mhz
1 GB ram
WD 80GB hard drive

Ok, my current confuguration is as follows:
Intel DE845PESV motherboard
Intel Pentium 4 3.06 Mhz(533 FSB)
1 GB of Kingston 133mhz DDR ram
MSI TI-4200 Geforce 4 128mb graphic card
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card
Compaq DVD-117 DVD drive
Liteon LTR-48246s CDR-W drive
Sony Floppy drive
Windows 98 SE
Promise Ultra ATA-133 (Tx2)
After some additional research, I believe the problem is with the nVidia drivers. I removed the drivers and had Windows configure the card as a standard VGA display card. Then everything boots OK, but only 16 colors. As soon as I install any version (I tried 40.71, 44.03 and 45.23) of the nVidia drivers, the PC re-boots with a problem loading ndis2sup.vxd. I don't know where to go from here.
The games I want to play are Mechwarrior 2 Titanium additon and Mechwarrior 3. I have tried many configurations in XP but no good. So I figure a drive with Windows 98SE will do the trick. I have everything loaded except the graphics card.
Is there any more info you need to help me?

MSI KT3 Ultra 2/Win 98SE/ USB Root Hub

Please, could someone help me to understand if I have the correct installation of drivers for USB
for Win 98SE?
Having installed the USB 2.0 driver from the M/B disk
Under Device Manger > Universal Serial Bus Controller,
I have the following entries:
1x USB 2.0 Root Hub
3x USB Root Hub
1x Via PCI to USB enhanced Host Controller
3x Via Tech 3038 PCI to USB Universal Host Controller
My M/B Bios version is 5.5 and I have enabled all USB ports (6) in the Bios.

Hi,
You don't need to connect USBOC....
As for the other pins, you have to rewire them....
Take an Ohm-meter and measure them against a normal USB connector.....
Don't connect it just like that......

MSI Ti 4200 random lockups

Ive been trying to get a GeForce 4 to work in my computer for over 3 months now and I am getting very frustrated. First I had a Visiontek Ti 4200 64Mb with a Soyo Dragon+ mobo and that would lockup any time I tried to play a video game. The screen would get covered with colored blocks and i would have to do a hard reboot. Then I decided to get a new Epox 8K5A2 mobo and used that with the Visiontek card and it still did the same lockups. I sold the Visiontek card and now I have an MSI Ti 4200 64Mb card and that is doing the same thing too. Last week I bought an Epox 8K3A+ because I had seen websites using it with the exact same videocard for benchmarks so I figured it has got to work. Got the board yesterday and guess what, it does the same damn thing as the others. I have a 600W Robanton powersupply that is designed for high-end servers. It puts out 40A at +3.3v and 60A at +5v so it can't be my powersupply. I tested both cards in my parents PC which has a Duron 750 and an Epox 8KTA3 mobo(350W Codegen PSU) and they worked perfectly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Athlon XP 2000+
Volcano 7+ CPU cooler
Epox 8K3A+, Epox 8K5A2, Soyo Dragon+
MSI GeForce 4 Ti 4200 64Mb
512Mb Mushkin DDR 266
80Gb Seagate 7200rpm HDD
Lite-On 16xDVD and 16x CDRW
Netgear FA311 NIC
600W Robanton PSU

I upgraded my mobo to its latest BIOS version and it still didn't work so I swapped out my XP 2000+ for a Duron 750 and that still didnt work. Then I swapped my PSU for my parents 350W Codegen PSU and it works , no lockups. I just ran through 3Dmark2001 and it actually made it all the way thru. 8o Now I'm gonna swap the Duron 750 out and put my Xp 2000+ back in and I'll see if that works. If not then I'm gonna have to buy a new PSU. I'm gonna need some suggestions from people who have similar systems(Athlon XP, DDR mobo, GeForce4)

Dual Boot,XP Pro Ok but Win 98SE cannot boot

I have a dual boot system, with 2 primary partitions, and bootmagic installed. My boot disk is on raid 0 on the raptor drives.
Installed Win 98SE first, than created second primary partition, installed win xp pro. Installed bootmagic on 1st primary partition, so can dual boot.
XP installed and running without any problem. XP runs fine with either ACPI enabled or disabled.
For Win 98 SE, with ACPI disabled, with USB enabled, system hangs while booting up. If I disable USB, I can boot to win 98 SE. During initial install, the first drivers for my board was the Intel INF. I suspected the board and brought the board to local tech support. They showed me that they could install win 98 SE without any problem. Board, cpu, hsf and rams were the mine. They used a single hard disk and a single CD Rom. Therefore, cannot RMA board.
I am suspecting that because I am using the Promise and Intel Raid, more irqs had to be shared and XP Pro could handle that but Windows 98 SE cannot handle that. I only have three add on boards, the Storm 2 DV editing card, ATI AGP graphics card and a V.92 modem card. Nothing else. I tried to do some fiddling in the bios for the IRQs but does not help. The only way to boot into Win 98 SE was to disable USB.
Could someone give me some pointers on what I could try out further?
Thank you.

I had rewritten the information regarding my problem and added in more detail and sent it out to MSI. Hopefully, they will respond (quite unlikely) . Here's it:
I have a dual boot system, with 2 primary partitions, and bootmagic installed. My boot disk is on raid 0 on the raptor drives.
Installed Win 98 SE first, than created second primary partition, installed win xp pro. Installed bootmagic on 1st primary partition, so can dual boot.
XP installed and running without any problem. XP runs fine with either APIC enabled or disabled.
For Win 98 SE, with APIC disabled, with USB enabled, system hangs while booting up. If I disable USB, I can boot to win 98 SE but my Intel Gigabit Ethernet will have an exclamation mark. Getting newer drivers and Intel INF did not help. During initial install, the first drivers for my board was the Intel INF. I suspected the board and brought the board to local tech support. They showed me that they could install win 98 SE without any problem. Board, cpu, hsf and rams were the mine. They used a single hard disk and a single CD Rom. Therefore, cannot RMA board.
I decided to disable the Intel Gigabit Ethernet in Win 98 SE. After that, I looked into the properties and realized that some memory allocated for the Intel Gigabit Ethernet are being used by other system resources. If I disable Serial Comm Port 2 and enable USB in bios, I can boot into windows and drivers detection for USB will proceed until it gets to “ Intel ® 82801EB USB Universal Host Controller – 24D7 “ and hangs my system. I cannot check if the problem is caused by IRQs or Memory allocation.
I am suspecting that because I am using the Promise and Intel Raid, more irqs had to be shared, memory allocations were more demanding and XP Pro could handle that but Windows 98 SE cannot handle that. When I try to do some tweaking in Windows 98 SE properties for the Intel Gigabit Ethernet, I was prompted that I cannot make changes. I guess the board, at bios level, fixed all the irq and memory allocations and so Windows 98 SE cannot make any changes.
Anyone can advise what I can do within the bios so that I can do further tweaking on memory resources allocation? I know that I can do something on IRQ and DMA but seems nothing can be done for memory allocation.
Hope one of you have some helpful information.

Usb km2m Win 98se

I don't know if anyone is still using Win 98se on a km2m. But I got my usb key working on this combination the other day for the first time ever. I'm not sure why it worked this time, having refused countless times in the past. But I can recount the context.
I happened to insert the key just after doing a hotsync to a Palm Zire. (Which also happens to have problems, associated or not with usb I don't know.) There were, I realised later, two instances of Palm's hotsync in memory - it had crashed twice during operation.
Windows installed the usb drivers (which I had uninstalled as of no use) and, miracle, a 2-click on the icon showed the files on the thumb drive, no problem.
Since then, it's worked normally, without hotsync. But there's a pair of fingers crossed ..

Thanks for the replies.
> USB key's are regularly sold without software although this is required for Win98 operating system. Download drivers from the manufacturers website.
Done that, umpteen times
> Tell me the specific problem you have with the Palm Zire and I can maybe help with this.
Hotsync doesn't work when launched from the zire, only from the pc.
> Have you tried entering SafeMode, to
> 1 Have a look for (disturbing) superfluous instances of USB-devices?

Yes, I've downloaded drivers from msi, from the usb key maker, I've cleaned up in safe mode .. countless times.
The point is that it's working now. No problem.

Moderate success w/Win 98SE

It has now been a few months of jacking around with my @nywhere Master, and I'm almost happy with the results. I finally have it running crash and error free!
I'm posting to possibly help others, especially Win 98SE users.
What a ride! Numerous installs, much time searching this forum. This card is like a plague around the world. I never gave up because I didn't want to invest in another, and I'm hopeful that one day we'll all have an incredible program to run it.
I will tell you that this is a nice tuner, proven daily by the 10 foot high-quality picture it shows on my wall.
The different installs each provided different results, even including the dreaded "Taliban Attack", where the settings always revert back to Antenna in Aphganistan. ("Taliban Attack" is a quote from another user in this forum awhile ago).
Here's how I have it working now;
Latest Detonator drivers for my MSI FX-5200 128TDR, for which I always lose my Stereo viewing capabilities. Oh well, maybe someday I'll find the right drivers to play games with my 3-D glasses again.
Latest TV Tuner drivers from MSI website, 8606 v.2.79.1.65.
MSIPVS, old, from bundled disc, filename version 6,02,100,1247.
After the MSIPVS software installed, the radio tuner driver was automatically installed from the disc. I haven't tried the radio, it probably works.
NO Winproducer, Wincoder! That disc is trash, I think.
So now when I click on the MSIPVS icon, it fires right up with no problems. All channels are in stereo,(finally, the settings stay!), records the way it should,(WOW!), and plays back without incident. Takes good snapshots, too. I haven't tried the aud/vid capture yet, I'm hopeful.
The downside is that I've NEVER seen the remote work, nor the one that came with the FX-5200. Maybe someday, but for now I use a Gyration cordless keyboard and mouse for channels, volume, brightness, etc., in my home theater.
I hope this may help, I can elaborate more if requested. Good Luck!!

did you turn them on in bios ?

Msi kt3 ultra, msi gf4 4200 tvout problem

I have a msi gf4 4200 64mb card and i have a msi kt3 ultra aru and windows xp,
my problem is tv out is garbled in pal , ntsc is grey (iam in europe), the colours seem inverted blues are red, etc and theres a ghosting effect around moving images like in videos or around the cursor
Ive tried everything from default mem setting , to high performance , tried diferent driver sets , tried windows 2000, tried via chipset drivers, latest msi, nvidia gf drivers, pal b , g , i , 60hz, diferent resolutions, clone view, single output to tv, stretch view , nothing seems to fix it, the only thing that comes close to fixing it is using the tvtool http://tvtool.info/ with color fix correction activated, but the images isnt stable its got a weird strecthing, shimmering effect on the bottom half of the tv image
Iam sure that the problem is not tv or cable related because i tried a friends p4 (board msi sis 645dx) with the exact same model gf4 4200 (not my one) with my scart cable and tv set up and it worked fine.
Could it be a voltage problem? ive even tried upping agp and core voltage a bit to see if helps, and nothing

mhuizing,
nope havent tried a diferent tv , but it should work , i tested the connection with a friends computer
exact same gfx card model and it worked fine!
My old system leadtek gf3 ti200 , epox 8kha+ worked fine with this connection.
Iam using a scart cable to a video , then from the vid to the tv via antena cable
i upgraded and voila, i got some headaches for free :P !!!

MSI Ti-4200 TD GPU GRAPHICS "LAGGNESS"

I have bought the MSI Ti-4200 TD about 2 months ago and have installed it to my new D.I.Y computer. But it does noe seem to be running smoothly when I play games on my computer. For example, even for games like Warcraft III, C & C Generals and RalliSport Challenge. I have encounter small jams here and there during gameplay and the worst is in Rallisport Challenge where "laggness aka big jams and distortion" occurs at every 10 to 15 secs f gameplay which cause "dizziness" ...
I have even download the following driver for update on the GPU and things seems worst. After I have uninstall the old driver from my Win2K and install the fresh new driver, I have found that the system does not indicates whether my GPU is running under 2x or 4x AGP under Control Panel > MSI Information. I am unable to adjust my MSI Clock settings as an error message appearing says that "DirectDraw Init Failed. The sample will now exit". I do not have this problem with the previous driver. ?(

Well... Thanks for your advice, but I have already formatted my computer and re-install everything. Though now my computer and the GPU works well :] and perform rather well, but I will still take your advice to heart when the next time I come across this problem again. )
May I ask to confirm again? Is is that if I meet up with this problem, I will go to my DxDiag and de-activate my Direct Draw >> Restart my computer >> Re-activate my Direct Draw >> Restart my computer. Am I right?
Thanks again for your help :D !!!

Firmware version 8.00.2 for WRT54G on a Win 98SE system

I tried to download the 8.00.2 firmware for the WRT54G on my Win 98SE computer, which is hardwired into the router. I had the laptops with Win XE or with Mac op sys shut down so they would not access the router. I downloaded a file with the extension *.bin. Neither WinZip mor PKZip could expand that file. When I double-clicked the file, I got asked what program to use to open the file. Please advise on how to use the downloaded file on a Win 98SE system.
Also, when I tried to download the users manual and the info sheet for this router, I got a blank screen. I'd love to see these.
Thanks for any help.

To upgrade a routers firmware, open up Internet Explorer 1st, then on the address bar, type the numbers 192.168.1.1 (username just leave it blank, password as a default is admin). Then go to the Administration tab, go to firmware upgrade, browse, and select the file that you downloaded (the one w/ the .bin extension).

Win 98SE Startup Logon Problem

All our Win 98SE had the startup logon problem when we migrated to Cisco 1240AP. Previously, we don't had this problem when we are still using the SMC AP.
When we want to login to windows 2000 Domain during startup, the system will complain that it can't find a DC and we had to click ok to proceed. Once login, we can see that it can detect the AP with good signal strength. Then we need to logoff and then only we can login to the Domain without any problem.
But when we restart the system to login to the Domain again, the same problem occurs. Only when you click ok to login without network and then logoff again to login without restart the system, then the PC can find the Domain and login without problem. All our PCs are using the static IP assignment with DNS and WINS configure.
We are currently using the DLink client wireless adapter and we had try to change to Belkin client wireless adapter with more recent Win98 driver but with the same problem.
Our Window XP don't had this issue. As i had said, previously when we are using a SMC AP, we don't had this problem.
Anyone here had the same problem that had a solution ?
Thanks.

Yes. The solution was to upgrade to upgrade the customer's laptops to WinXP.
(Drive mappings were also a related issue).

FF4 sort of works in Win 98SE via Kernel Ex but slow and lacks features

I had last version of FF2 working fine with Win 98SE but could not access features using java, Flash, etc.; I installed Kernel EX and FF4, after which it seems to work but is slow as molasses...takes more than a minute to load home page or other link, after which it won't scroll for 10 to 30 seconds. There is no history or bookmarks and the back/forward buttons do not work consistently.
It works well enough to be promising, but frustrating; is there any hope? Perhaps missing system files from Win XP? Any help greatly appreciated...I really like Firefox!

Sorry, your operating system has been officially obsolete since July 11, 2006. It's likely that websites require more recent versions of Flash Player and Java than you can run.
* [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406791.html Flash Player 9 for older operating systems]
* [http://java.com/en/download/faq/other_jreversions.xml Where can I get older versions of Java and related documentation?]
You can try starting Firefox in a new profile and see if that helps any. But it's likely that these problems are caused by running Firefox on an unsupported operating system with the aid of third-party software. Having an overclocked CPU doesn't help matters either.
* [[Managing profiles]]
If things aren't any better in a new profile, you can try Firefox 3.6.28 instead. This version is now obsolete and insecure, but that seems a bit of a moot point in your case.
* [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all-older.html www.mozilla.org/firefox/all-older.html]
If you're unable to upgrade your hardware, you may want to consider switching from Windows to Linux. You would have the benefit of an up-to-date and secure operating system, browser and plug-ins at no cost.

Msi ti 4200 problems

i installed a msi 4200 agp video card today and have had nothing but problems. on the first boot xp did not try to install new hardware. In the display properties it did not recognize the video adapter. i tried to intsall the drivers from the installation cd but it said it was not the right files and did not recognize the path. on the second reboot no picture after windows boots. i have a gigabyte mb ga-7vrxp and am upgrading from a pci video card. any help would be much appreciated.

Thatz Y... I won't switched to XP until it has really settle down...
lambethduke, I know where you've got things wrong and its a common mistake as I have accidentally did it myself before ... You must have direct right click on your Display adapter driver and un-install... This will cause the screen to go blank during startup whenever you wanna install the drivers again, though you may be able to see part of the windows starting up... Next time, juz un-install the driver by double clicking on the driver and inside the profile click on un-install and this problem will never exist to you anymore...
All the Best... :D!!!
