If you have another PC with IDE interface (or an adapter), take the HDD out of the laptop and attach it to the IDE interface...

are u a timetraveller lost in time or wtf? Dialup? really?

Cdrom?
You Are posting on a forum of a game called.Warcraft which has its own version called war2combat free to download which is 13mb so forget cdroms

Now, if you are thinking an old computer is the.best choice for war2 you are in a big mistake, it consumes hell of resources even with a pentium4 and 1gigram you will lag around and noone will play with you.

That is if u had normal imternet, but dialup?  Go play internet backgammon

I would do that if i could connect to internet at all haha, If you had read the text above ^
you would have seen that i cannot access the internet :/ ...
You have wifi support at home? Becuase you can buy a USB wifi apadator to help connect you to the internet. If eternet does not work....i have done that to numerous old computers of mine. Works great.

I have one at home but cannot use it since it needs a driver which i cannot install because i have no cd reader...
Buy a usb cd drive then.

lol, these guys just aren't getting it..

1) Tried with the USB (Damn! USB memory isn't supported on Win98 unless you install the driver manually) - FAILED
2) Tried with the CD (Damn again! Realized the cd reader isn't working) - FAILED
3) Bought a floppy disk to test it if it works (Damn #3! I forgot that my PC doesn't have a floppy drive) - FAILED
4) Tried connecting the laptop to internet with the ethernet cable (...No ethernet port...) - FAILED

Hah! I've been in exactly the same boat, I think I was trying to get Paint or something onto an old POS Win95/98 lap with a very similar set of limitations. Frustrating! :D So your options are basically:

- Get an IDE enclosure, connect the lap's hard drive to another computer, copy the needed files/drivers onto the drive, then reinstall in the lap.
- Get a new CD reader off ebay. (Usually you just remove one screw, slide the old drive out & pop the new one into the slot.)
- Scrap that heap and get a slightly newer laptop. 15 years old is ancient. :D A newer model will give you fewer headaches, probably run the game better, and can still be configured for that vintage look & feel. c:
