• Ibm Drivers And Software

Don't assume that windows default drivers will work correctly on a fresh install. Windows 98 is notoriously bad at detecting plug and play devices, especially on laptops. Your best bet would be to go to 'Start' then 'Settings' then 'Control Panel' then 'System'. I believe that you should see a tab there called something like 'Hardware' or 'Devices'. Go there and write down a list of all the devices that you find.

You should also be able to print a list of all your devices. You can then go and search for drivers for your devices before you reinstall to make sure that they exist.
