So I didn't get to sort out my computer in the end...

I spent ages wiping the hard-drive and installing Curtains 98 SE in place of plain ol' Curtains 98, and then tried to install the drivers for my wireless network doobrie-whatsist. But what ever I did, it's not recognising the usb device...

This is so getting on my nerves...*sigh*

It's an improvement though - it wouldn't even let me install the drivers before!

I'd put XP on the system, but that's an extra £90 I can't spare, and it's an old PC - Pentium II with a 4gig hard-drive and just 64 meg of ram. It did have 192mg - but that's a whole 'nother rant that I don't want to get into...

And 'sides, I don't think my scanner is XP compatible - the graphics software that came bundled with it certainly isn't.

Dude, that sounds a lot like my computer. I had to reinstall Windows 98, and I have a measely Pentium II as well as 64 MB of RAM. I feel your pain, m'dear.

Try poking around here - http://www.annoyances.org - it may be a pretty common Windows 'feature'. I know it -can- work, because both my computers run the exact same OS. May take a bit of teething to get it to work.

Actually, postscript to that... you need at minimum 128MB of RAM for XP - and I could get a copy if you needed it.

Just a quick line to make sure you realize you referred to the OS as "Curtains" in your post.

Call it what you'd like, that's just not something I'd be doing accidentally. Ficton-bleed in the head is bad.
