Hi, I tried running menuet on a windows 98 computer 64 ram intel pentium III.
After loading a while it brings up a black screen and then a bunch of dots appear and then a slash. Then it says menuet version and some other stuff and then it says something isn't available and then thecursor thing is just blinking on another line. I tried waiting but nothing happend. What should I do?

Please try to post what thing exactly MenuetOS had displayed as not available.

Perhaps you downloaded the 64-bit version? (not very probable since it is detected at a very early stage if I remember right)

Sorry about not being that descriptive but I just realized I downloaded the 64 bit and thats most likeley won't work with a windows 98 computer so I am going to try it out right now. Thank you.

Well I got menuet to load but everything is big. I have tried many different Video formats and it doesn't work. How can I figure out my exact mode.

If you tryed every mode then is highly probable that your video card is not VESA compliant (or not compliant with some VESA feature requiered by MenuetOS, LFB?).

You could try running MenuetOS on an emulator like Bochs or QEMU which probably provides VESA support for guest OSes.
