HP Pavilion Drivers For Win 98???

Hi There!

I'm hoping someone can help me. I was just given a HP Pavilion 512c desktop. It didn't have an operating system on it when I got it, so I decided to install Windows 98 on it since I had a spare one sitting around, and then I could use it as a backup to my main computer.

Everything went swimmingly as far as the installation goes. But I ran into trouble when I started looking for hardware drivers. The HP website only lists Pavilion 512c drivers for Windows XP! Yikes!

I really only need the Ethernet and Video drivers, since I only plan to use it for internet and email, but I can't even find those.

Is there any hope for me? What happens to us poor people who need drivers for Windows 98?

24 hours and not a single response.

Thanks so much for all your help.

I bet I get a response now, but it won't be in answer to my question.
