I will stop bothering the list now with our hardware problems.
We got Win98 to work by reformatting C: and reinstalling.
(The first reinstall, on top of an existing install, fixed Opera but then
it crashed repeatedly during boot.) When installed with the hardware it
is to use, Windows correctly identified video card and sound card.

The moral is:
Don't move around Windows 9x hard drives between anything but identical
computers.

If Windows starts crashing, reformat and reinstall (don't reinstall on top
of the last reinstall).

If you are going to change video or sound cards it might be best to
reinstall Windows if they are not recognized.

It is not a good idea to defrag Win9x with DOS defrag and if you do, it is
not a good idea to retype the truncated filenames.


I now have a small blue square in mid-screen.


It will be so nice to get back to linux, where you can make changes
without having to restart three times.
