Strange, I have never had a problem with SFC1 on Win 98... check your video drivers, sometimes they cause things to go haywire.

One thing that occurred to me is what version of directx are you using?  I would think it possible that your version is too new for such an old game.  But a good game of course.

1- the main hd is having problem.

2- the video card also have a problem

3- the 2th hd is ok, so anyway i have a new 40 gig on it and a 20 gig.

4- a new video card will be place on it

this com is for a back up only, when the main one need something so i have a com to play games.

plus i was able to get a cpu for my old mother board, early this year or late last year the mother board was defective and was send to the manufacture to be fix, but i needed a mother board so all the stuff was transfer on the new one, so now i need to find a tower that i like, i hate the beige, grey and black tower and tower with door to the cd rom/dvd, i found one that i like on a magazine at a good price but the page is in gernamy only so i don't know much about it beside a few word that i understand, her the link: www.chenbro.com  the tower is a chenbro xpider II, i found that in a good magazine about pc, "pc gamer", i will see tomorow if sfc1 will work on it or not, because of win xp i can't put it on this com, i know abotu the patch and i will try if it work.

(i like my wireless keyboard and mouse)   ;D
