i was given an old AMDK6 Pc with 1.5G HD, which had boot problems. i managed to make it work without a hitch. to enable to work in our environment, i changed the HD with a 8G one and replaced RAM with a 64 MB. i installed w9x and no problem. the pain started when i wanted to add a NIC to allow LAN connect. i put in an old MPX en5038a with drivers downloaded from the Internet.
as soon as i put added the drivers, the pc boot up well and was TCP/IP was config’d, but could still not access our LAN. after a few more minutes, it crashed, booting to sahe mode and uninstalling hasn’t helped. we tried everything as the books say, to the eventual point that we decided to clean the HD and reisntall w9x. now when i try to run setup,it goes until 23% remaining then tells me setup.cab has problems. restarting the process tells me that several cab files have been altered, and scan disk helps to fix the problem. however, i still can not install. i have fdisked, format, msaved, tried to copy the OS to the HD and avoid inst from cd, but nothing. anybody who can help
