If you haven’t realized yet, Windows 98 is one of the worst operating systems ever. Thank God I have Windows XP on my good computer (at least that’s stable). So here’s the story…
My mom was using the laptop to get her email and all of a sudden, it restarts. That was the last time it ever started. So after playing around with settings in safe mode, for hours, it still didn’t work. (Oh and by the way, trying to fix this on top of being banned from the computer also set me back.) So therefore, I had to format the hard drive. I was tempted to install Debian Linux but it needed a boot floppy and the only operating system I have on diskettes is the ancient Windows 95 (Much more stable, but a lot less compatible with today’s new components) So then I had to install Windows 95. I upgraded that to Windows 98 (another hour). Not even ten minutes that it was working, files became corrupted. AND DON’T BLAME ME IT IS NOT MY FAULT. I KNOW WHAT I’M DOING. So I uninstalled Windows 98 and reinstalled it. Corrupted again (after I loaded the wireless network drivers). Piece of crap that Windows.
I will let you know when I have the entire thing working again. But please heed my advice: Stay away from Windows 98.
