Does it have a DVD drive by chance? I'll try to get a disk made for you today if you don't find one before then.

Re: can anyone help
It came with windows 98, when I reformatted hard drive to get computer to start I loaded windows 98SE, but sound and a couple other items would not work. I had to reformat and use compaq restoration disk to get everything working. THe computer does have a cd-rom drive. I just need the upgrade to 98SE, not the full install thanks............

Probably just needed some drivers for your sound and other peripherals. I have a DVD with versions of Windows from the beginning to ME. I'll try and make a stand-alone for the Windows 98 SE upgrade.

True, and what sucks is that (IMO) Win98 was the best. If for any reason, since WinXP came out, most of the viruses are programmed for XP instead of 98.

PS: plus, most of my favorite older games won't work on xp, even with compatability mode (oh, how i miss Descent 2, among MANY others).

I have no life.
