Re: win98_*cab file is missing

at boot choose the onscreen option to enter CMOS setup, and look thru the
choices to verify that LPT port is set active.

Thank you for helping me, however, I am not sure what you
mean.

Do you mean, while the computer is booting up, before
Windows starts, I should press the delete key to get into
the setup?

I did that, but I could not find the LPT port anywhere.

Any further assistance you can give would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!

Adam

yes in that setup .... ok it was just a thought to look in there, typically
there is something there to enable/disable com ports and printer ports, but
not all machines are same.
