a7n8x network problem using win98 fe
Hi,
would You please try to give me some advice? I've got the a7n8x non-Deluxe-version and it runs fine with winxp. I'am using win98 fe by xp bootmanager with the same system. By reading Your posts i managed to set up most drivers for the win98 os, but I don't was able to setup the onboard nic (no probs when using winxp). Device manager tells something about ...ntkern.vxd wasn't able to load device drivers (code 2)... . At google i can't find any workaround. At a nvidia forum i looked around someone told, win98 fe would not be able at all to load all needed drivers, but gave no reasons for his statement. Is he right (and why do the drivers for other devices work)? Any idea to solve that prob? If win98 fe cannot handle the drivers for that nic; arn't there any other (generic?) drivers that will do the job? I've read something about a GenMac(?) driver but could not figure out what that will be? If You can, please help. Thx Stefan |

He snuck that "non-Deluxe" in on you. It only has the Nvidia/Realtech lan.
Is the device showing correctly in device manager ? Have you tried removing the device and reinstalling it over again ? "Ben Pope" wrote in message ...

He snuck that "non-Deluxe" in on you. It only has the Nvidia/Realtech lan. Yap. Is the device showing correctly in device manager ? Have you tried removing the device and reinstalling it over again ? Thx for your interest so far. Device manager shows the *nvidia nforce MCP Networking Controller* in *nics*,but with the known yellow exclamation mark. Properties show the above adressed error message. Driver info shows, that the file provider is microsoft(?). Trying to update drivers points to 1. install the recent driver (which does not work) or 2. shows an alternate driver, which requests to insert *NIVIDIA nforce MCP Network Adapter Driver Disc 1*, but I didn't get anything like that. I've tried to uninstall the device and reinstall by using the hardware assistent but wasn't sucsessful. I've tried the 4 in 1 driver from the supplied cd, downloaded upgrades from asus and nvidia; results see above *provider microsoft?*. I think - if there is a suitable driver for win 98 first edition - someone must be so patient to tell me, were to get it, where to store it and on which file i have to point during installing the device. Or is there a clue like making a win98scr-folder, which was needed to install the other win98 drivers? Thx a lot Stefan |

Well the drivers don't officially support versions of Windows prior to 98se, I'm not aware of which drivers do/do not work. All I can suggest is to extract the platform drivers and attempt to install manually... when it asks you to insert the disk, point it to the directory you created by extracting the .exe. I'd recommend obtaining a copy of 98se and installing that if you need to stay with win9x. Ben -- I'm not just a number. To many, I'm known as a String... |

---Schnipp--- Well the drivers don't officially support versions of Windows prior to 98se, I feared that. I'm not aware of which drivers do/do not work.

I will try that and report, if i made it. I'd recommend obtaining a copy of 98se and installing that if you need to stay with win9x. Ben Thank you, Ben. Stefan |
