OK. I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the suggestion.

In looking around the Gateway site I don't find any drivers listed for this device that pertain to Millennium, just W98 and NT. Is this going to be a problem? "pengulin" wrote in message ... A friend of hers gave my daughter a Gateway 2000 with the original Windows 95 installed. Would like to upgrade to my own copy of Millennium which is not presently installed on anything. The Me is a full version, possibly OEM, and will not install because it detects that W95 is on the machine. Will I have any trouble with the Gateway system after reformatting the hard drive and installing Me from scratch? Presuming the OS loads OK, I doubt you'll have any problems with drivers. Since it seems to be an older computer, Win ME should have all the drivers, if the hardware (sound, video, modem, HD controllers) aren't too obscure and it's all original equipment. But if any new hardware has been installed in the system in the last four or five years, you might need to obtain drivers for that hardware. The same is true for any peripherals you add to the system (although you should already have drivers available). |
