    I have been unable to change the NVIDIA Adapter settings.

    FAQ: Why do I want dual boot with Win98? Because old games will not run in compatibility mode.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Go into the BIOS and look for a setting called "P-n-P Operating System" or "Plug-and-Play OS" or something very similar to that (different BIOSes word it differently). The available settings will "Yes" and "No". Change it. If it is set for 'Yes', select 'No'. If it's set for 'No', select 'Yes'. Different BIOSes put this setting in different places, but it is typically in the Advanced Settings, or in the PCI/PNP settings. If you can't find it, post the make and model of your motherboard and I'll do what I can. It might also help to use the 'Optimized Defaults' setting in your BIOS and/or make sure all the IRQs are set for Auto. If you manually enter values for IRQs be sure to note what the values were before changing, or be prepared to use the CLR CMOS jumper on the motherboard.....

    I hope this helps!

    Thanks for your help dlb. The BIOS have very limited options so I was unable to enable your suggestions.

    Motherboard is Dell Dimention 4600. I cannot find a Win98 driver for this board. Still looking.

    Thanks again,
