Windows 98?

[Yey456726]

I just installed Windows 98 with this configuration...

Pentium 4 Processor 3.00GHz
512MB RAM
9.0GB HDD

Anyone know where I can find drivers for this it`s an HP Pavilion a462x

I'd try this....

When the new hardware wizard popup arrives, try putting in a copy of XP in the drive and navigate to the driver folder....that should do it. If you can't do it that way, go to device manager and update the hardware from there using an xp disk.

Welcome cdusa!

What drivers in particular are you looking for?

Ethernet, and monitor, and My original computer came with XP pre-installed so I don`t have a disk, I tried running XP with the 98 HDD attached and copied the drivers I needed but they wouldn`t install.

Have you tried MS Win98 updates.

 

[Yey456726]

This is where the problem arises the internet won`t work unless I have a Dial-Up ISP so I need an ethernet driver first then I can run MS-Update

P.S. My Internet it Verizon FiOS with a 100Mbps speed

What net card do you have?

Let me know if either of those drivers work.

Download details: Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1

Its about the latest browser I could find for 98. If you do not mind me asking, why are you installing Windows 98?

 

[Yey456726]

Well I was looking through some software found the disk and had a spare hard drive

If you know the drivers you need, you could use another computer that is connected to the internet. Download them into a folder, copy them to a USB flash drive & then move them to the win98 computer, provided it has USB ports. That's what I do a lot of the times

One of those moments where you were bored? Those are fun moments. That show I became a OSx86 and Linux User. (Zidane helps with the linux part lol)

Not only that but I found a (pirated) copy of Windows 2000 and a DVD with every version of Windows Vista ever Made

Lol, I'll say this like an Apple fanboy; listen for my tone of voice: "I'm a Gadget user."
