Windows 98 On Dell Dimension 3000 Graphics Problem

Post by SuriPolomareFan2003 »

Hi guys! When i installed Windows 98 SE on.my Dell Dimensiom 3000 with a Celeron processor, 1 GB RAM, and a 80 GB IDE hard drive, It installed perfectly without any Windows Protection Errors, And i installed the Sound driver and it worked, But when i installed the video driver for Intel 82865G graphics driver, it installed but the device confilcts and has a error code 12 on properties in Device manager, then i looked at this thread: https://msfn.org/board/topic/154592-win ... /#comments and they said something like this:

"The 82845G (internal) is among the tested cards for VBEMP:

You may need to update BIOS or use a TSR, though:"

And i don't know how to find the Intel TSR VBIOS VESA-driver or a patch, Can somebody know how tp fix this?

Use Windows 2000. You'll have better driver support for it.

No, I wanna run Windows 98 and here's a reason why: Because when i try to install Windows 8 or later, it won't install because the Celeron processor does not have any NX bit instructions, So i wanna have a nice Windows 98 PC.

I said 2000, not 8. 2000 is released in 2000, while 8 is released in 2012.

To me, I gave up and installed Windows 2000 like you said.
