Unable to get on the internet. Windows 98/XP hasn't received an update in well over a decade.. However, I can only guarantee this machine works the way the software is installed on the desktop. I can't guarantee anything you install will work because again Microsoft hasn't updated Windows in a while. Otherwise, if you have any questions, please ask away, and I'll be in touch.
The system was carefully tested, and all devices, device drivers, etc. are loaded correctly with no device conflicts. I am not responsible for technical support beyond getting the system up and running. If you are working with vintage systems, some troubleshooting experience and a good working knowledge of MS-DOS 6.22 / Windows 95, 98, 98SE, XP is expected on your part.
