Question

98SE will not install

Jun 20, 2012 6:17PM PDT

Have received a 98SE OEM disc and when I try to install I get the message 'no install drivers'. Will someone give some advice to a newbie, please?
Many thanks in advance
Richard.

Don't install Windows 98.

Can you tell why you want it, how you try to do it and the specs of the machine you're installing it on (CPU, RAM, motherboard, disks)?

www.google.com/search?q="no+install+drivers" is no help at all.

You get to prepare the machine to run 98. Silly things like 1 or less GB RAM. An IDE HDD 127 or less GB in size.

That's just the beginning!

Many thanks for your replies. The disc was faulty and is being replaced so all now OK.
