tired of windows 98/2k failures

by tech_wiz03 . Updated 23 years, 1 month ago

I am still trying to get a stable configuration of windows. It’s been 9 months now and each windows op system is flakey at best.

I need a system with 3 op systems win98, win2k and linux-mandrake9.1. Originally installed win98se-oem and win2k in one partition set a second partition aside for swap space, a third for data and a forth for linux. linux worked 100% and alway has, win98 runs for few days then slows to crawl and starts giving trouble, win2k does the same and when i install vb.net/visual studio.net system starts crashing. Under this configuration all hardware and drivers work fine.

Repartioned system and put win2k on it’s own partition, now win98 refuses to recognise mbo based sound, win2k refuses to recognise scanner, and linux still works great. System under win98 crashes, system under win2k crashes

Upgraded win98se-oem to win98se-box set now scanner, printer, usb ports, firewall, anti-virus, memory guardian all are having troubles. win2k still crashes under vb.net/studio.net and won’t see scanner.

Wiped everything, installed just win2k and system runs but very slow and crashes under vb.net

specs: AMD-K7SEM with onboard sis630/730 video sis900 fast ethernet sis1870 sound 120GB harddisk 1.2 & 1.44 floppy K7-1400+ CPU 128mb memory cdrom x52 cdr/w x48x16x48 panasonic kxp1123 printer cannon 4100 printer.

someone must be able to help I’m loosing too much time on this thanks
