steve- you are a prince of a person; as to the computer issue, however, for some reason, we are now getting the message "CANNOT FIND OPERATING SYSTEM" at the very beginning after rebooting. after fiddling with the jumper setting (following the diagram on the HD), we thought perhaps the power/plugin connections were wrong somehow, so we moved things around, but no luck. at one point, the monitor fizzled and expired on us. (We had another one.) So now we are at an impasse. i even put a windows xp op disc in the cd rom drive in the hope that the computer would recognize it and load it, but nothing. unless someone can figure out what happened to and can reload win 98 so the damn thing can work, we will be buying, unfortunately, a new pc. too bad...i do like the challenge of getting this older, but still quite usable, pc to work. thanks again for all your help.
