Thanks for that information, C.K. I want to answer you right away. Since stores
are closed until Monday, I won't be able to get those CDs from the computer guy who
installed the new motherboard. When I get the chance, I'll go to him and ask for
the CDs.
I have an "Intel Express Installer CD" and another one called "Intel D845GLVA Win98SE
Drivers" with these 8 files:
5.10.3686.certified
iata_enu.exe
infinst_enu.exe
setup.exe
v6.4PRO98ME.only.exe
VA84510A.86A.0052.P19.EB.EXE
VA84510A.86A.0052.P19.IB.EXE
win9x.exe
My hard drive crashed back in 2000. I had to buy a Western Digital hard drive, Model
WD800JB-00JJco, and a WIN98 that says "For PCs without Windows" and a WIN98SE "Second
Edition Updates." The shop installed them all on the original OEM motherboard, then
they installed the INTEL CDs, which they gave me.
But last December 2008 that motherboard fried and the computer guy installed this
motherboard that has CrystalFusion sound system.
I'm very hesitant to install the INTEL CDs on that corrupted Crystal SoundFusion
system, but will do so if you guys say it's OK.
The invoice doesn't say what type motherboard it is, nor can I find it in Properties
wherever.
Device Manager shows Crystal SoundFusion and ECP Printer Port not working.
The original motherboard had SYMATEC sound system, and that's what shows up as default
whenever Windows is looking for something to load for the sound system today. Should
I go into the Registry and delete everything about SYMANTEC in the hopes that Crystal
SoundFusion will fill its place? Maybe Crystal is just sleeping, waiting for SYMATEC
to get out of its way.
Shows you what I know about computers. But I'll get all the information I can and
post it right away. Thanks.
