Sup guise.

I have a problem I want you to solve for me. I’ve got a computer running a stripped-down version of Windows XP SP3 that’s sole purpose in life is to crunch Folding@Home and heat my apartment along with the other 3 computers in my room.

I threw an old ISA Orchid ProDesigner II video car in it (see picture), and it’s kinda acting up. Windows XP *had* a native driver for it (I think…Log in to see images!, but it was commented out in the SP3 “display.inf” file (Tseng ET4000 Compatible). I uncommented it (hurf durf) and picked it to install for the display driver – it needed to be manually installed because this card is so old.

So yay, I reboot and it goes from 640x480x16 colors to 640x480x256! Hooray, I have 256 colors! But the card is capable of 1024x768x256 and Windows knows it. The Display Properties slider is stuck at 640x480 and 8-bit color though. I try the Advanced page and it shows that it has 1mb of display memory available – more than enough for 1024. I hit the List All Modes bumon, and it shows 1024x768x256… I select it and hit OK, the screen flashes, and I get left with a blue screen and the 0x0000008e code, something I’d never seen before.

(hurf durf)

Google shows like 10 billion different cases of 8e, as if it’s some kind of generic error code.

Hao can I fix this becauz I really want to play Crysis Log in to see images!

Card (large – right click/view image for full image) – it’s only slightly bent but looks more so in the picture – the ISA slot on this board was never used, so it only boots if there’s something pushing it up in the slot!

I grant you an bumhole x

You should probably find a good tech forum or something for all this stuff, probably better appreciated there, and you could find more and better answers. Not saying that you shouldn’t post it here, it’s a nice change, and kinda interesting sometimes imo.

Also: I have no ****ing clue lol.

I like bringing a little smart to an otherwise p gay place…

Also if I find a tech forum, I’d probably get shat on. My ego is both my greatest ally and my biggest weakness…

Plus there is no tech forum where I can actually be considered “lulzy” for posting something this ****ing very special. I pretty much know there’s no way to fix this under WinXP, so I’m not really trying to fix it *nudge nudge*

That pic does look funny.. Is the card fully seated in the mb and why are you holding it up with a hockey puck?

Finding a more correct driver wouldn’t hurt either I’m sure..

Install windows 98(might get millenium to work, but why?) or use some agp card.

lolol, let’s start with a list

– i love hockey (hence canada hence fwz)

– it’s got a puck holding up the card because like i said the isa slot is ****ing old and doesn’t connect properly, and i don’t have teh secksy $10/bottle contact/control cleaner spray, and there are only 4 contacts on the opposite edge, so it makes a more secure connection

– i _took out_ a perfectly working ATI Rage 128 AGP card from this computer to use the ISA card, that’s not the point (this ISA card is more suited for a 286 or 386 with Win3.1)

– there are absolutely no Windows 2000, ME, 98, or even Windows 95 drivers for this card – there’s no reason to anyway, it’s made in 1990

– it’s running XP because it’s a 700MHz Pentium 3 with 256mb RAM and it fits in well on my network

I thought the more lulzier questions would be sorta like… uh… hm, I could use some help thinking of some questions…

Not to be a male reproductive organ or anyphin, but although it would be an unexpected plus, I’m not really looking to actually fix the problem… I mean, you see what forum this is posted in, rite? General RP? Log in to see images!

Also, there are no 98 drivers on that page… have a look. For ProDesigner II, it only shows a Windows 3.1 driver, which I already have. What I meant by “no win98/98/ME/2K/XP drivers” is that there are no OEM, downloadable drivers. 9x/ME/2K/XP all come with built-in support for the card, that’ll probably work fine. 98 would work marvelous with this thing, and I could just slap together a quick 9x computer if that’s what I really wanted (I’d probably go ME since – really – I never had any major issues with it, and it’s far upgraded over 98 as far as USB support goes).

But what I really wanted was just to collide the highest tech with the lowest tech, if just for a lul. It’s actually pretty amazing what this card is capable of speed-wise, it doesn’t take its time putting stuff on the screen, and it even played a Flash video (do you have a waffle – google it), if at about half-speed, it was still pretty smooth. And holy ****, a DIP switch for refresh rate and speed setting.

The biggest problem I have with the card is that it’s horribly obscure. The ProDesigner II and ProDesigner IIs seem to have totally different board layouts, which is kind of a pain, but I found that the IIs has the same sort of DIP switch, and the settings seem to work the same. Dunno about driver though.
