Startup disc ??

[mike13]

Thanks for the reply BB. I do have a 98SE disc for the Compaq, and there would be no problem reloading the operation system. When I say 'Drivers" I mean the ones for the audio / video / modem / ethernet card etc.

I see. By drivers I was assuming those that the boot disk/startup disk. I now have a fuller understanding.

Something like that *should* take care of the driver issue. Further, if you feel froggy, you can locate the drivers yourself by searching your computer in the device manager, making a list, going to the manufacturers website and downloading the latest available.

Compaq/HP have a site you can search for this very thing. Of particular importance will be audio, modem, and display.

If you have added an ethernet card (I am assuming so due to the age of the P2), then you'll need to visit that NIC manufacturer for their latest driver that supports your intended OS.
