I know this laptop is very old, but thought we would see if it would work. When we got it the operating system had been removed. I have Windows 98SE which I can get to load to a certain point then it freezes on the Windows 98 screen. I can get it to copy the files onto my computer, reboot and then start looking for drivers and then when it starts looking for plug and play items it will shut back down and when it restarts it will only go to the Windows 98 screen and then it freezes..... any suggestions?
Thanks!
