Thanks Gary, but *was* unable to get to DevMan or Win Explorer or anywhere -
was prisoner of Win Found new hardware. After many failed attempts of
various kinds to install or to get elsewhere, and reset button pushes, with
resultant correction of cluster loss and so on, finally got the files
installed. The wizard was balky. I used a whip, manner of speaking, and
coerced it into a grudging conformity with my will.

go

with
| Windows 98? You may simply not be able to use Windows 9x on that mobo.
