I know this probably gets asked a million times but I’m looking to set up my Inspiron 530 to use on the internet for light use. (yes, I am aware of certain risks. I’m smart enough not to go on sites that need my personal info)
What are all the programs I would need to keep it safe and work without issue? Legacy Update, a web browser, antivirus, etc.
Please help. I installed a fresh new install of Windows 98SE (Winworld ISO) and I got to the part where it boots up on the Hard Drive and it’s searching for the drivers to install. The very first one is the Plug and Play Monitor and my mouse and keyboard has zero input. It’s like it’s frozen. If I go to bios, they work fine. If I boot up in Safe Mode, it works fine without issue. I have used the ISO on dozens of pcs. This is the first time I’ve ever had this issue.
I’ve tried unplugging everything except the essentials (motherboard/HDD) and disabled the parallel and serial ports. I tried using a different monitor, still nothing. I loaded the bios in default also. Nothing seems to work. I’m at a loss here.
Specs:
Motherboard- ASUS CUEP2-M

RAM- 256MB SDR
GPU- ATI Radeon 9000
Soundblaster Live! SB0100
20GB HDD
My power supply went out on my Proteva rig. I bought a Antec Earthwatts EA-500D on eBay and it was sadly DOA. From this experience, I’m not sure if I want to buy another used PSU on eBay and hope and pray it works. So, I’m looking for new ATX power supply with 20 pin, floppy, and Molex connections if possible. What do y’all recommend?

Let me know what you think! I’ve always loved these growing up. Some I’ve seen in person, some I haven’t yet
My dad passed in August 2025. I inherited his daily driver 78 F-150 Custom. It’s not perfect. The radio doesn’t work and the factory A/C is long dead but I’m still keeping it alive
Loved this game growing up but I don’t know anyone who has played it or seen anyone talk about it
I’m turning my spare bedroom into a 2000s nostalgia room. It’s still a work in progress

Anyone else ordered a computer at Staples from a company called Proteva back in the day?
