The OS would run for a while then get fatal exception errors frequently usually in explorer or ie. One of these times it couldn't find a .vxd file, but nothing was deleted? I thought it must be hard drive problems, so tried a different hard drive but still came up with errors. I know the CD is OK. Last resort loaded 95 back on and works fine? Any ideas?? Also, sometimes had read errors from floppy? S-P133 with 80mb ram and 1.2gb desktop pc. Originally BIOS was set to user for HD stating cylinder/heads etc., I set to auto and works fine, why would they have set it like that?	Guest (0)

You can easily reinstall the hardware afterwards, and you have the ability to use the drivers you want rather than than the (sometimes) wobbly win98 generic ones.	Guest (0)
