stumped
Hey peeps,
I'm having some probs with one of my machines.
One day I pulled a memory board out to compare to one that a friend had given me. I saw that they were not the same so I put mine back in and gave the other one back to my friend telling him that I could not use it with my MB.
I go to boot my machine and everything looked normal...everything until windows tried to load....just when I think I am going to get the Wallpaper and my network logon, the machine just shuts down.
No error msg, nothing, it is as if I myself had chose the shutdown option.
So, I've been troubleshooting for about two weeks now and finally I see a error msg during the autoexec.bat screen that says: "Memory manager not found". and it then it refers to EMM386.
The thing runs in safe mode all day long....but when i choose normal boot, it shuts itself down.
I have reinstalled windows. I have not reformatted yet.
Maybe its just time for a better machine.
I have wanted to see for myself if amd processors are better for game play.
This is my game machine that is having the probs.
So, think it could be perhaps a virus doing this or perhaps my powersupply. I just dont get it.

Throw it in the trash and go get yourself a new one.

I suspect someone is playing a joke here?

xp....you've got to be kidding...XP sucks arse
Way too many gamming issues...not to mention security.
Besides, I'm trying to save this thing for my wife. I dont wanna trash it.
Well I do want to build another one for gamming. It is past its prime for games, I do at least recognize that. But even the new machine will have 98SE installed on it. Its the only OS I have used that doesn't have issues with any games i play.

I wasn't talking about Windows XP (I run 2000 Pro), I was talking about the AMD processor which runs at an enquivalent of 3.0 Ghz.

And yes, XP was insecure and had gaming issues 3 years ago. Win 98 has more gaming issues than XP now.

XP does not have gamming issues ... it only has issues to those to ignorant or to lazy to go out and find the correct XP patches for most games. If you have games that are ONLY for 98 then I agree ... but then again if you are only playing 98 games then your 900 should be fine.

One more thing... 98 has just as many holes in it as XP and if you REALLY want to see holes in 98 just keep using it after another year or so when microsuck stops supporting it. That is when you will see holes from hell develop.

Yeah I've been looking at the new 64's but was told that games wouldnt be able to take advantage of it now. If I remember correctly, it had something to do with addressing memory. I dunno but as one person told me..any new amd is better than intel with gaming. So I'll prolly go that route.
Thanks
