If you followed the driver set nstall then all is correct. Possibly your motherboard is NOT compatible. I found using different motherboards once installed the driver pc lock up in windows 98 symbol before to load the desktop.

Questions:
  • Do you use more than one memory stick?
  • Did you disabled all the option reference to AGP in bios?

See my thread on motherboard testing, a good deal of motherboards do NOT work well with Rampage. If you need one that does, I have a spare MSI unit that works well

I have installed the drivers set easily in normal windows mode.
I have installed DirectX 9.0C easily.
If I put OFF hardware acceleration like this picture (http://www.deskshare.com/Resources/articles/images/window_troubleshoot.gif) my Windows 98 can boot very fastly without any freezes even if i choose more resolution or more bits.

BUT if I put at the max hardware acceleration and I reboot I have a freeze.

nb. In my Bios setting I only have Aperture 4/ or 8/ or 16, 32 or 64Mb and I can choose what I want but now it's on 64Mb.

Use 4Mb for aperture.

And uninstall the Nvdia drivers and NOT install any motherboard driver.

I will try for aperture.
But it's not my desktop on the picture. just an exemple.

Motherboard Drivers:

I have installed before the rampy drivers this program:
infinst_enu.exe (Intel Chipset software Utility 6.2.1.1001 for my MSI mb). perhaps it can cause a conflict?

NOT INSTALL CHIPSET driver. It causes several crashes when Rampage is installed.

I don't know so it's perhaps the problem. I see now.
This chipset driver after the reboot detect a lot of hardware on the mb like PCI or USB etc...
I can uninstall it from control panel? possible?
Without chipset drivers it will be possible to run any games/benchmarks?
Thanks.
I will let you know.

Promise my friend. Sorry.

Good New:

The Rampy 001 is compatible with the MSI MB. yes Smiley

I have tested it with Quake 3.

So good!

EDIT:

insalling quake 3 demo in full harrdware acceleration on my MSI mb.

http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/27997020131221004.jpg

in quake 3 game i don't have any fatal error related to the mb. just some freeze or vxd blue screen Smiley seems it s correct.

Try some games which are known to work well to see how long it will run.

System Shock II, Thief the Dark Project and Tomb Raider II Gold

Did you download the DX test pack?

Remember in my country the temp room is at 30. much more heat than in USA or Spain in winter.
I will try and let you know.
I don't download yet the DX test pack. and you did you tested it?
I need to have the same settings as you to compare how long the games can run without freeze?

nb. when i had installed the rampy drivers i take the voodoo X 2000 the first one for win98 is it good? cause there are others versions like 3000 or 3500 etc...
