I thought I was done with Win98SE but I have an app that only run on that
version...

I don't have the Recover CD and I can't find any neet bundle of drivers for
the HP Pavilion 8755C.

I'm down to needing the Audio driver.
I used to have a software tool that would run and give me an inventory of
all the hardware on the PC.

Anyone know of a good tool that will run on Win98 and find the hardware so I
can get the drivers?

Any help would be appreciated!!!

"I'm down to needing the Audio driver."

The manufacturer of the Audio device may have a driver for Windows 98.

In future, you would do better by posting Win98 questions in a group for
Win98.
 
Thanks, I looked their first and there were only a handfull of posts so I
thought my odds were better here even though it's not an XP group...

I suggest putting Windows 98SE on a virtual machine - VirtualBox is free.
That way you use the one machine you are used to and only bring up this OS
when you need it without taking down the other stuff, taking up more
physical space, etc.

As for the driver - go to the support web page?
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=59776&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us

Although it seems to indicate the driver for the sound/etc is just included
with the OS (or unsupported.)

http://www.hp.com/#Support

Open the machine - see the sound chip make/model and look for that.

Or - just looking on the web page...
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...5964&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=59776

Could lead you to driverguide.com for a proper driver download.
 
Thanks for the idea...
I'll give that a try also, it would make my life easier if I could run it on
an XP machine.

Thanks!
