it is to go on an old 200 mhz laptop with win 98

i loaded the lapy the normall way and plonked in the cd and manually dragged all filles to my desktop and they do open with dos but normal widows is operating in background

im having troubles getting the software and hardware to work properly

i think its supposed to be in dos purely ie i restart pooter in dos mde and load software etc

how do i do that?

can i install the software in restart dos mode?

ie i feel i wan to wipe everything start fresh and install it all properly
