I keep getting a couple of things that are ticking me off. First off when I right click my computer and check the properties/performance it has a window there telling me that c drive is in dos mode??

"under performance "
Compatibility-mode paging reduces overall system performance.

Drive C is using ms-dos compatibility mode file system.?????





Secondly I am missing a program on my sound card and it is not showing up just sits there with the hour glass. It is the ASOUND EXPRESS External Midi {MPU 401} device?

I also am showing that the primary IDE Controller5 Dual Fifo is not working but the secondary fifo is??

I have put on win98 and it is a PII 450MHz with 256 memory and a 20 GB Maxtor HD along with 3dfx as well

I also cannot go to 800x600 in my colors settings as well?? It is showing 256,16,24 etc but I cannot slide it over to the 800x600?

Any and all help is appreciated before i toss it out.

Hi BigDaddy, it sounds to me like youve not loaded the drivers for the motherboard, same with the drivers for the graphics card and display adapter.

The colour 256 etc is different than the screen res 800X600

You need to install the drivers again for the graphics card, at the mo it doesn't support above 256 colour or 800 X 600 screen res

When youve done that select a display driver that will allow a higher res 1024 x 768 fur instance

Change the properties then in the control panel to suit... HTH

You need to update your monitor driver change it to a standard super vga 1024 x 768 You only have to specify a monitor with voodoo cards for some reason.
