Please bare with me as I try to be as descriptive as possible.
I am having trouble with a computer at work that is used for health-related diagnostic testing (hearing tests). It is a portable unit that includes a computer, lcd screen, audiometer, video otoscope, etc. It was made in the late 1990's and runs Windows 98 SE.
Recently the harddrive stopped working completely. The computer would not recognize it at all. We had to install a whole new harddrive. We have no backups, installation CDs, driver discs, etc. I have scrounged through practically every place imaginable. Now I have Windows 98 SE reloaded onto the computer with all the neccesary software to perform tests.
The problem is that I do not have any drivers, NOR do I know what I need drivers for! The computer does not recognize any soundcard or video capture device. These two things are absolutely essenstial. Is there a way that I can find out exactly what is hooked up in my computer so that I can download the neccesary drivers/software? I have no documentation telling me exactly what is in the computer and it would be difficult to come by, as these are no longer made.
Any information you can provide me with would be wonderful and apreciated so, so very much.
Please keep in mind that I am only halfway computer literate, heh, especially when it comes to hardware.
