1. Your new system very likely can't run Windows 98.
2. If it can, you go to the hardware manufacturers' sites and get the 98
drivers IF available.
3. No, the drivers you need aren't likely to be available. What model
Compaq? All you said is Presario. There's more to it than that.

In response to 1., Gary, it runs things nicely in 98, but I've
not been able to go beyond Safe Mode.
In response to 2., I can pose the problem to HP but I'd be surprised
if they were interested in helping.
As for 3., I didn't think you'd want the complete model designation.
It is CPOMPAQ Presario SR1900NX Desktop PC
