eg Enter means press the enter key.
Go to Start>Run regedit ok
Clicking on the + signs navagate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\IOS
when you get to the IOS folder click on this once it should open and show some files on the right. In the right hand pane can you see NOIDE?
Then just close registry editor by clicking on the close x (top right hand corner)
Remember we are only looking do not change anything. If you do not understand what to do then do nothing and come back to me.
This is a link that might help you find the floppy driver
Dell Downloads
Have you got a dell diagnostic floppy disk?
Do you have a windows 98 cd or do you know some one who does
When you checked the performance tab did it list a driver? if yes is it this one?
If the driver name listed as causing MS-DOS Compatibility mode is Mbrint13.sys,
Cheers
