I've got an old system that just doesn't seem to want to work, this is obviously a problem for someone who knows more than me
It started when I got it, my cousin put in a new nic and it didn't have enough irqs to run it properly, but even then it wouldn't work because it woldn't load certain files for windows networking even though they were there
So I deleted the OS to start fresh, i tried windows xp first, but it never got past loading the same .dll file, so I tried windows 98
Installed perfectly, but when it went to reboot, it gives the same error everytime about a VxD and won't boot up all the way
I also tred using a harddrive with an os already installed and it gave me a device i/o error
I know these are all related somehow, because the errors are the exact same everytime for the methods I mentioned
Anyone have any ideas?
