Im using windows 98se in this system right now. Here is another thing tho thats happening. I tried to use a different din5 keyboard but when I boot the system it gives me the beeping keyboard error over and over and over but if I use the one that came with the system it doesnt beep it just registers as undetected. The keyboard lights also are very very dim but still there so does that mean anything important?

Also, I dont think i want to be clearing the bios do I? Dont you then have to flash it to get the bios back? Well to flash it Id have to be able to use keyboard and also be able to get past the harddrive detection but since I cleared the bios I get just past the hd detection and then it says

Cmos Checksum error- Defaults loaded

Then it gives me the option to hit delete to set up cmos and stuff but I have no way of getting i to set it up lol.
