Last night I reformatted the hard drive of a computer, reinstalled Windows 98, then tried to install the soundcard driver (for a Muse 5.1), which eventually seemed to work, until I tried to test it, whereupon it made the computer fall over. I've no idea why! Help!

I'm also looking for a means of obtaining MS Office (legitimately of course), for the computer in question. Any ideas anyone?

A mainly legit way to get office cheap is to get a student
or school pupil to buy it at student rates for you.
(assuming your no longer a student yourself)

I saves about 50% of the price I seem to recall.

I wasn't being entirely serious with the legit part :O)

The copy I got given ages ago doesn't want to install properly any more...

want to talk to me in the pub on wednesday. :)
