It looks like you're creating vastly improved versions
of 98.

I've got to resolve a serious problem, maybe one of
you can help me.

My dad purchased a Gateway desktop many years
ago. Each time it broke I fixed it. He doesn't use
the internet. (Hard to believe, I know!) He sits in
front of this horrific old desktop everyday typing
letters with Word 97. Occasionally, he'll use Excel.

The last time he asked me to fix this power hogging
monster I said no. I told him I would build a new
desktop and install his old software. I'm building
a MicroATX desktop, which is all he needs.

Abandoning 98 was a great relief for most folks.
Unless Microsoft creates something better than
Vista, XP may be looked back upon as their most
stable operating system.

It would be great if I could install a "souped up"
version of 98 that would be more compatible with
the new Gigabyte mobo I'm using, as well as all
the other new hardware. I see a list of patches,
updates, etc. It would take me a long time to
really understand what you guys have done with
this old system.

Can someone point my browser to a complete
package I should download, or a list of updates
and patches that I could slipstream and burn
onto a CD.

Thanks guys!

The problem remains, with new computers that you may not find drivers for w98.
