IOS Error: Real mode system memory allocation failed after adding AGP video card - please help
My current setup is as follows ...
Asus A7V133 [rev 1.05. (with dot)] with VIA 4in1 driver v4.43 AMD Athlon XP 1600+ PCI Slot 1: Video - 32MB ATI RAGE Ultra (ATI Rage II+ PCI) PCI Slot 2: NIC - 3Com 3C905C-TX-M PCI Slot 3: Sound - Creative Labs SB Live! 5.1 PCI Slot 4: USB Card PCI Slot 5: ----- Operating System: Windows 98 Second Edition Doing the following ... - remove "temporary" PCI video card (from PCI Slot 1) [The PCI video card filled in for a "dying" AGP video card (from Leadtek).] - add AGP video card (ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB DDR AGP) causes the following error (on boot in "Normal" mode) ... "While initializing device IOS: ERROR: Real mode system memory allocation failed." [Note: IOS error occurs only in "Normal" mode using ATI AGP video drivers. System boots successfully using Standard Display Adapter (VGA). System boots successfully into "Safe" mode. And, system boots successfully with "dying" AGP video card.] I suspect that the drivers that shipped with the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro is not the right version for my Win98SE system. Any help would be much appreciated. |

I googled for days, tried my best to get the new ATI video card to work but no luck so ended up here. The link says to download the latest VIA Hyperion drivers. Since my system is running Win98SE, shouldn't I use 4in1 driver v4.43? |

I might be wrong on this but I think that VIA has just renamed it's 4in1 drivers to "Hyperion" Why not give them a try. If there not for your board they won't install, so nothing to worry about.

JLC Yep, you're right ... the VIA Hyperion Pro v5.10a drivers solved the problem. My system works with the new ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video card now. It's FAST as expected. However, there's a "minor" problem. On bootup, I now get the following message ... ======================================== Cannot find a device file that may be needed to run Windows or a Windows application. The windows registry or SYSTEM.INI file refers to this device file, but the device file no longer exists. If you deleted this file on purpose, try uninstalling the associated application using its uninstall or setup program. If you still want to use the application associated with this device file, try reinstalling that application to replace the missing file. viagart.vxd Press a key to continue ======================================== The system boots fine after pressing a key. There's no reference to "viagart.vxd" in C:\Windows\SYSTEM.INI |

Really appreciate it. |
