Hi Denise,
Many thanks for your reply.
I tried a different video card but this didn't work. I think the reason being is
that my motherboard has the AGP slot with this extra spacer in it for the card and
not the older style so the only video card I could get hold of to fit the slot was
another of the newer AGP format. My only other option was to use a card with a PCI
slot but I don't have one of these either. Also my motherboard does not have a built
in video card. I guess unless I buy a basic older style or PCI format card I am
at a dead end.
Oh and also I installed again win 98 successfully and tried installing from within
that but it still rebooted and went through the dos installation procedure, subsequently
failling during the process.
Do you have any further suggestions?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Gareth
