I know it's old but I would still like to salvage it. So I have an old laptop that has been owned forever pretty much. I mean I would love to have this HP working withh good graphics driveer but that was to painful for me to get it working as there is no much support for that graphics card driver.This product detection tool installs software on your Microsoft Windows device that allows HP to detect and gather data about your HP and Compaq products to provide quick access to support information and solutions. That will be a breeze with a Pentium III, 256MB RAM, and Graphics dedicared ATI one. I found a gem, a Compaq Armada E500, in a cheap price of 20$ fully working. Thanks, well after many hours and attempts at getting the drivers to work (Jesus christ!, I don't know which one is worst, a GeForce Go 6150, or a Conexant HD Audio conected to a AUU MS Bus) I finally gave up. Using DLLHOOK, you can redirect this call to a different call (in a different DLL if necessary), thus circumventing the error, and allowing the program to run (provided the function you redirect to provides a "compatible" return value!). For Example some programs expect a function in KERNE元2.DLL "IsDebuggerPresent" this function does not exist under Windows 95. This can help you bypass missing exports/etc when programs are run. Glad you got things running, (partially at least).ĭLLHOOK is an API redirector it's used to fool programs into thinking an API is present where the program expects it, when in reality it may exist in a different place or not exist at all under 9x.

Question: what's the usefulness of DLLHOOK? I mean I do understand what is an API but not sure how practical this can be in Windows 98 for example.Īlso I can't manage to find the NVSIZE Patch for NVidia Graphics drivers. Should I keep checking what other patches I can use for improving my system? Any Tips?

Also I want some advice what to do next? I did found my graphics card driver (An Old NVidia GeForcegGo 6150 with drivers for Windows 98 /XP compatible) gonna try that out about some minutes.

Also my first time using a Command Prompt DOS (Jesus I literally had to read multiple times how to delete files and directories, whata pain)
COMPAQ ARMADA E500 DRIVERS WIN98 INSTALL
Happy to say I got my first Windows 98 Install on a moderm PC! with 2GB of RAM in the Installation (I spent literally hours doing this since I just had 2GB Sticks). Thanks a lot guys for pointing me in the right direction. After multiple trials and errors, I did apply the Driver fix (SATA) and worked smooth. it results that I was having problems with the SSD Controllers as this is a SATA or AHCI one. Update: I tried the memory patch with no success. Thanks, sad to see RLoew passed away, must have been a genius in Win 9x systems, even still helping after he passed away. No more tweaking or jumping through hoops necessary. I would use the /M option with your setup. the most i ever installed was with 1 GB on a dell precision m70 i believe.įorget the system.ini tweaking game and install RLoew's RAM Limitation Patch. it's hard to tell though as i never did these modifications before completely installing 98SE. i advise you go down all the way to 512 MB - 1 GB first, install rloew's ram patch latest version, then you must set the min / maxfilecache to the same amount ( at least, that's what works for me ) and at least 1/24 of your system ram ( apparently some kind of rule that has always worked for me, so i always had to do this anyways, as my system would not work without it ). "minfilecache=170000" and "maxfilecache=170000", and "maxphyspage=20000", however, this may not be correct or might not work. There can be many variables to your problems. if you actually have 4 GB of ram installed, i would advise running as low as you can as you will have issues when trying to install with more than 512 MB, but usually it happens for me on 1 GB or more for 98SE, where as with windows 95, it seems that it can only do up to 512 MB at first. for the system.ini, i would use the following if you have 4 GB physically installed.
