Recovery disk busted need drivers
Name: catch22 Date: January 13, 2008 at 00:27:05 Pacific OS: win 98 SE CPU/Ram: 96.0 MB Product: nec ready 330T notebook
Comment:
I recently got a nec 330T ready notebook. The previous owner had put XP on it, and because it was so slow on this laptop, he recomended I format the hard drive and re-install win 98. I did that, but then I discovered the recovery disk was cracked. I am rather new at this, so I'm not exactly sure what it is I am missing, but I think it's the drivers for just about whatever it is I need drivers for. (sound card, video card) So what am I missing, and how do I get it?

Firstly go to Windows / Microsoft Updates and install all the Updates, choose the second Custom updates.
When you have undertaken all upodates check DEVICE MANAGER for any missing drivers.

Does that require connection to the internet on the laptop? This desktop I am using is connected, but I'm not sure how to connect the laptop, even though it has network card and a modem. I tried connecting, but it says I don't have enough pixels, which I can't get unless I get drivers. I think.
I think you mean to go to the microsoft web site and download them. If you do not, please enlighten me. Edit: It doesn't seem to recognize the network card. Say, can I download updates onto a disk and transfer them to the laptop?
