The 16 colour issue is due to it using the default video driver rather than the one for your spedific video card. Is the video on board as well or is it a seperate card? Do you have a model number or any other info about this PC?

I've done some research on Patriot and it appears they went bust about two years ago, they also have lots of unhappy customers and a possible class action lawsuit against them 8O

Obviously there is no tech support or website so we'll have to do this the hard way, being just another clone builder they would have bought the motherboard in so it's just a case of identifying it's make/model. If you look on the motherboard does it have any model numbers on it?

It sounds like a PC Chips motherboard, they're driver download page is here :-

http://www.pcchips.com/driver/driver.html

It's a bit of a mess so picking the correct driver wont be easy :roll: The modem driver should be the one labelled PCTEL DAA Module and for video click on VGA Driver Win95/98 and from the next page try M585LR under VGA driver for Win95 / 98.

Good luck :D

Small suggestion, it's best not to type in Caps as that's thought of as shouting ;)

The link I posted works Ok for me but it's not exactly what you'd call fast :D

the idea is install win 95 then overwrite 95 2 win 98 then try to sort the computer out from there the system crashed when i tryed to install the drivers for the modem and the system will not boot up in safe mode or normal mode there is a message comes on the screen a general protection fault on the system and i cannot delete the files that i put on the system because i cannot get into the system [this is now getting personel :x :twisted: :twisted: ]

What if you press F8 when it says Starting Windows, this is the DOS type screen i.e. white text on a black background, this should present you with a menu from which you can select Command Prompt. That should allow you to rename/delete/copy files ;)
