Don't know if this has anything to do with win 98 so i thought i'd check. I
built a computer for playing old games in win 98 and the os installed fine
except it said that WDMIUTIL.DLL was missing. I researched and found that it
has to do with the internet. However it was late and i decided to wait till
the following day to try to fix and the next day i suddenly got a checksum
error when i started the computer. It said, "CPU has been changed or CPU
Ratio changed fail." Now i did buy a new CPU because I found that the one I
was using (a P4 at 3.0 GHz) was to powerful for win 98 and i kept getting an
ndis error. I bought a P4 at 1.8GHz and reinstalled win 98 adn as I said
everything went fine except for the DLL error.
I have searched the internet looking for it but found nothing. My question
is, is this being caused by win 98, the cpu or what. I thought it might be
the battery but I pulled it and got a reading of 3.03 v, which seems about
what it should be. I am using an ECS mobo (PT800CE-A v.1.1A) w/500MB of
Kingston DDR400 memory. The mobo is supposed to be compatible with win 98.
One more thing, because of this checksum error, even though I have looked in
the bios and, as far as I can see, nothing is wrong and I have tried loading
optimized and failsafe defaults, when I restart the computer I get no video.
I have to reset the CMOS to get the monitor to come on and then I once again
get the checksum error. This is getting to be a major headache and almost not
worth it but I really want to play the old games. Please, can anybody help me?
