Hello all,

I've found in my attic old laptop (compaq armada 1590dt) with windows 95.

I want to use this laptop as the basis for my kids' comfy, but I've found out that 
comfy doesn't support win 95 and I need to upgrade my laptop to win 98.

Here is when the fun begin, I have windows 98 cd but my laptop don't want to reboot 
from it. After the win 95 startup it recognise the cd and I can run several programs. 
The software recognise this is newer windows version and offer to start the upgrade, 
but nothing starts.

I appriciate any help you can give me.

Thanks,
Uri
