The new motherboard should have come with a CD that has the sound, video and other
drivers that Win 9X needs. If you didn't get it and the box with the accy's that
were with it, you may have been ripped off, as in, you bought a refurb or OEM and
there are a lot of those being dumped into computers as replacements. If you have
the motherboard CD and you don't find a Win 9x directory with the drivers, then the
board doesn't support Win 98.
What is the brand name and model of the motherboard? We can verify that it is Win
9X compatible and if there are drivers for it. You have a better chance of an AMD
processor board supporting Win 9X than an Intel chipset (Intel support is totally
gone now) but support is all but gone for Win 9x on newer boards. It may run on
legacy drivers on an AMD board, but not as well as it could with the proper drivers
installed. Without knowing the specs of the board, we are just wating time. In
the device manager, what devices show a problem?
