The only things I could think of are:
-- Do you want or need a DVD drive or burner
-- What ports are on the mother board? You might need a PCI card for 1394 or USB 2.0 if you need those ports and they aren't standard
on the mother board
-- And what MichaelD stated first - Does the case come...
You could look at several routers however I have not seen one that allows a USB printer to be hooked up but the models listed below do have a DB-25 printer hookup and both have a 4 port switch built in for networking home PCs. Also I Linksys routers have worked well for me but I could not locate...
I would definately add more RAM. 128 MB is the recommended minimum but 256 or 512 is better. 256 MB is generally a good minimum amount for video playback as well. XP just gobbles up more resources than ME or a 9x based PC.
I am going to be working on building a system for a user who wants to use a P4 @ 2.8 GHz. Since I generally work with AMD and am just now starting to look into the P4 solutions I had a question. Should I go with a 845/DDR setup or the 850/RIMM setup. The user doesn't care too much about cost so...
If there is only one PC in the network you would be logging onto the local machine. Create another account locally and log in as that or login as the admin account.
Have you tried either removing the TCP/IP stack from Network Neighborhood or removing the card entirely and adding it back to the system? Or you could try to add a static IP to the Win98 PC that is already in your DHCP scope and see if it can access the network.
I have never seen that problem myself but if it locks up at the exact same place every time is the CD you are installing from dirty or scratched? Could you try another CD?
First like the post from minendo states - REFORMATTING WILL RESULT IN THE TOTAL LOSS OF ALL DATA.
OK, now do you have a recovery CD from the PC manufactor? If you do usually booting from that CD(s) will guide you through reinstalling Windows back to when you first got the PC.
If you don't follow...
Is the CD good, you could test it in another PC.
Did you try to boot off of a Windows 98 startup disk and then run the setup from the CD (or even better create the windows\options\cabs folder on the HDD and copy the CAB files off the CD to the HDD and run the install from there).
You could try...
Did you try and remove this lop.com plug-in?
You could access the add/remove applet in control panel and click on change/remove (add/remove however it is listed in your OS). When this is clicked you will get a choice of restoring your previous config or repairing IE, the repair might help.
