Boot problems with Asus sp97v motherboard
I have just upgraded a computer to Win98 so the owner could use a
digital camera with the computer. On boot up though the computer would lock up at the splash screen every time. I could boot into sdafe mode though so I tried everything I could think of. Disabling all devices, going into msconfig and trying various selective startup options, physically removing all devies such as the vid card, com ports, etc even the mouse and keyboard connections. In the end I upgraded direct to Winme and that managed to fix the problem and I was able to boot the machine. However then I added a PCi usb2.0 card and on the first boot after it installed the drivers the computer locked up again. I went through all the steps I tried above including following many MS knowlegde base articles on trouble shooting boot up problems but I cannot get the computer to boot up unless I remove the pci-usb card (Which is needed for the camera.) Ieven tried a different drive with Win98 installed but still no luck getting it to bootup. Here are the specs of the machine Asus sp97v motherboard 48mbram 200mhz Pentium 3 gig hdd 2meg vid card. Any suggestions??? |

I don't believe the old machine meets the minmum specs for using USB. But I
could be wrong. -- DaveW "Trueman" wrote in message om... I have just upgraded a computer to Win98 so the owner could use a digital camera with the computer.
