Windows 98 Start up problem
I recently dug out my very old Tiny computer which runs on Windows 98. It hasn't been used for many years but I need to use it again as certain software that we use in our business only works on Windows 98.
When I switched it on the Windows 98 screen appeared in colour for a second then suddenly faded to a very faint grey like when in safe mode. Then the screen went black after which some writing appeared but this too disappeared so quickly that I couldn't read it.
The screen then stays black and nothing else happens.
I've tried repeatedly pressing the F8 screen when booting up and it beeps like crazy but nothing happens.
I took a video of this and then watched it through slowly so that i could read it and it says press delete to go in to set up so I've pressed delete and it goes to a blue screen giving various options.image.jpgimage.jpg
I haven't got a clue where the disks are that came with the PC as its so old and I've moved house twice.
Any suggestions on how I can overcome this would be very welcome.
I have attached stills of the screens.
Thanks
