i'm getting ready to frormat my laptop. And was just wondering if windows 98 has all the drivers (default)? I'll update to the newest drivers, but just wondering.

thanks

Depends on the laptop, it's mostly luck

You dont have a restore CD?

I wouldn't be suprised if you at least need video and audio drivers. I've messed with a lot of laptops and I don't remember one that had anything but basic VGA support from Win98. 2000/XP are much better at this.

I'd go get drivers from the manufacturer's website before you format.

Yeah, download ALL the drivers you'll need ahead of time, burn them on a CD if you can, that way if windoze asks for them you have 'em.

BTW, if you mean does windows have enough drivers to start from scratch, the answer is usually yes. I have yet to see where it doesn't have the ability to get installed, but after it's installed it'll ask for drivers if it doesn't have them.
