My system is a HP system and the operating system I installed is NOT the one
that came with the pc (it was faulty - so i couldn't use that one). Now, I
must install drivers for the video card, sound card, dial up modem, ect...
> I have the software for my lan (ethernet) card so that was not a problem.
My problem exists with the fact that the software I have from HP, that
contains all the software and drivers ect
> , does not work. When trying to install anything thing off it (such as the
virus scan program), I recieve an error message telling me that this cd was
created for an HP system only. Seeing as I installed the operating system
off of a microsoft disk and not the HP disk, HP will not provide any
technical support on how I should obtain the correct drivers to reinstall my
video card, sound card, 56K modem, etc...
> Please direct me on what i should do, where i should look, and how to do
it.  Thank you for your time!!!


What you can do is check the manufacturer's website of these devices and
download the drivers for Windows 98 for each device. Another thing you can
do is go to www.drivers.com. You will have to join first but it is a free
membership, then you can search their database for the drivers you need for
your devices and download them from there.
