Im having a real problem with mine. I attempted to install another feature from my Microsoft office and it crashed mid-install. Whenever i restarted windows wouldnt load up at all. I formatted and tried to reinstall windows but everytime that I do it just crashes.I have no operating system and its driving me mad my laptop has thus become a very expensive paperweight. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Craven

If you are using Windows 98 and the processor is (if memory serves right) an early AMD chip it wont install correctly and does crash. You have to go on to Microsofts website and do a search there, you will find a file to install on the laptop before you install Windows.
Hope this might help you.

Ok thanks for the advice. I tried looking for the file but could find no mention of it on the Microsoft site.
You are right about the chip It`s AMD K6-2 333Mhz 64MbRAM. I tried installing Win98 and Win2k and each produces the errors. If anyone can help I willl be so greatful.
Thanks
