I have renewed the harddrive from 2gb to 20gb and the ram from 64 to 256. I have loaded Windows 98 from floppy and then cd and everything worked fine. I have then installed the printer and Norton Internet Security2005 and given the computer back to the owner (my dad who is too tight to buy a new one) and everything tested as working but when he decides to buy a flat screen monitor a week later and I fix it up, it wont start in anything other than safe mode.
I have reinstalled windows over the top but as it starts windows freezes on the Windows screen. The devises show that drive a and c are are using ms-dos compatability settings. Can anyone suggest a solution. This is the first time I have done this so no techy talk please!
