Ahh that makes sense

It is a ropey old stack, I love it though cos it still has the chester cheater transfers from the last guy that had it 6 years ago

I asked for it when our company was chucking it out, I've managed to stick all the drivers for the exact machine on it, so I'm good to go apart from the usb. Seems a waste to not a use it as it has 40g in it

The other dodge pc my dad got from my mums old work, manages to recognise the usb on windows 98. Only problem is it was wiped like mine, and needed all the drivers sticking on, which it hasn't had, and the display only has 16 colours. I've tried contacting viglen about it but no go, so Im trying to get mine sorted then its a perfectly working back up pc

Karumba!

- Even 2000 is probably a bit old now ... (General Chat) - bjt, Jan 6, 10:03:15
  - Stick with 2000 cos XP is utter shite (n/m) (General Chat) - Steve in Holland, Jan 6, 10:37:47
- Windows 98 doesn't support USB, IIRC. (General Chat) - BeverlyHills0201, Jan 6, 10:03:14
  - You are correct sir. But Win 98 release 2 ( or something) does support USB. (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Jan 6, 10:17:09
    - Ahh that makes sense (General Chat) - pants, Jan 6, 10:21:54
      - Yeah, sounds like the other machine is the newer version of Win 98. Do you want me to see (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Jan 6, 10:26:00
        
        I have, if you need. (n/m) (General Chat) - Arganth, Jan 6, 10:26:46
        
        I've just nabbed a copy of win 2k off ebay for a ?10 (General Chat) - pants, Jan 6, 10:27:27
        
        Rightho. (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Jan 6, 10:30:24
        
        Agreed. Still not as good as XP though. (General Chat) - Arganth, Jan 6, 10:32:34
        
        can anyone tell me if service pack 2 is a lot better these days? (General Chat) - pants, Jan 6, 10:36:17
        
        Personally - I'd stick to Win2k. (n/m) (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Jan 6, 10:41:37
        
        Any chance you could accidentally find a copy of SQL Server 2K lying around, is there? (General Chat) - BeverlyHills0201, Jan 6, 10:51:35
        
        Always a chance. (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Jan 6, 10:57:21
        
        oh yeah will do (General Chat) - pants, Jan 6, 10:44:36
- Get yourself an upgrade copy of XP - it's only about ?50. (General Chat) - Arganth, Jan 6, 09:58:28
  - can't you only put that on one machine though? (General Chat) - pants, Jan 6, 09:59:49
    - In theory. (General Chat) - Arganth, Jan 6, 10:00:52
      - I don't understand (General Chat) - pants, Jan 6, 10:02:02
        
        You can use it as many times as you like. (General Chat) - Arganth, Jan 6, 10:05:26
        
        oh (General Chat) - pants, Jan 6, 10:17:11
