i had no idea i was in heaven, and i realize it now, i thought windows me & windows
2000 profesional, were the same year? or came out around the same time.? i wish i
hadnt done what i did, but its done, i used a disc utility and it told me that intel
is the mother board the video chip is also intel 865g graphics chip accelerated
vga bios. im not connected to the interent , with that pc, i wanted to use it for
graphics, mostly and video, and like i said only have 16 colors, i tried to down
load the drivers from intels site onto a floppy, and they are too large? and this
pc has a cd/dvd burner, but i dont kow how to use it, maybe i should stay away from
all computer os settings. and somehow, i created a E: DRIVE that i cant get rid of
so now i have A: C: D: E: so i dont know how that happened? but the utility info
program told me, that my problems now are the
1.pci/agp device
intel corp.
ac' 97 audio controller
2.pci/agp
intel corp
usb 2.0 ehci controller
3.pci/agp
broadcom corp
bcm v.9x 56k modem
the motherboard says
intel corp
bios version: ami bios 080010 for intel
chipset vendor : intel corp
video chip 82865g integrated graphics device
so can i just buy windows 2000 nt professional somwhere, and make all this go away?
all these numbers and names, i really wish i would have left the whole thing alone
now. thanks for all your help and advice joe zarkie
