Hi Everyone.
My nephew gave me an old pc that had no battery, no ram, and no hard drive, and no name on it. But I knew I had a box of bits and could try to get it working.
The very first pc I had was windows 98se. although the pc is long gone I still have the setup CD.
I put a battery in it. put 1.5 gb ram in it. and put a 20gb maxtor hard drive in it. I inserted the windows 98se setup CD into it and it ran and went through the stages to install windows 98se.
All went fine until at the end where it restarts and then comes up with the windows 98se screen, where it says "preparing to run windows for the first time" Then it goes to the screen which I have included in a picture. (enclosed) but it dosn't matter which key I press or not even press a key, It just shuts down.
Any help here will be greatly apreciated.
Bringe.
