Older pc at work - seriously messed up, Dell 486, 3 1/2 floppy, 5 1/4 floppy, cdrom & a couple hundred megs of memory not sure how much RAM.
Just want to use the sucker to run barcode labels - installed a printer driver that caused all kinds of problems, tried everything, reloaded w95 a couple times etc.
Tried loading w98 - made things worse, so, FORMAT C and start over.
Using the boot disks w95a and w95b from Bootdisk.com won't work 'cause it can't detect the cdrom and aborts the install.
the w98 bootdisk starts out ok, then claims it can't find device driver 'MSCD001'
so ***?
The pos is hardly worth the time, but should run a label printer ok.
