i have been given a pc that runs windows 98. the problem is that every time you try and go into my computer, control panel or windows explorer it comes up with illegal operation and closes. i can only get into these parts if its in safe mode. there is so much rubbish on this pc that it needs to be wiped clean. how do i do this and how do i install a new version of windows? also if i wipe it clean does this mean i will lose things like drivers for the cdrw because this pc has come with no discs or anything! i will have to go and get a windows disc! i dont know where to begin!!!!
thanks from jane
