    Did you install it with that hammer? :p It still looks glitch-y.

    It did take a bit of getting in. ( that's what she said )..

    Don't have any drivers for out before XP.

    Just did it for a laugh really. A guy on another forums asked if anybody could help him with getting a Windows 98 boot floppy.
    I offered and posted a couple out to him. He put a pic up showing his old desktop up and running with Win 98.
    Been years since I saw it and thought I'd have a go with my old LGA 775 with 2gb DDR2 RAM.

    Just about managed to get it installed. Now I feel I may do as suggested and install all of the OS's , we'll try to any way.

    Could be fun.

    Looks like you only installed the vanilla drivers for 480x640 desktop , why not start at some windows 1x or 3x versions that will make your brain work?

    I tried win 3.1. Got DOS in, easy really then had a whole load of trouble getting 3.1 in, tried everything i know but with no luck.

    Just gave up trying and put my machine back in the loft....

    Try with DOSbox, you don't need to get any old computer from the loft:

    Installing Vista would not be a challenge.

    Pretty sure I have some Vista images on disc somewhere.

    Not messed with Vista since it was out. Cant really remember what its like.
