i do not have screen capture software on the computer. It crashed during the installation process. After receiving confirmation checks for about half the components, it stopped with a ~4"x4" frame containing:
CANCEL
Installation process for SonicStage 4.3 has been terminated.

DONE
Hope this helps and i very much appreciate your assistance. There are files on this machine that would be very useful to me, so it would be great if i could access them somehow.
i had a look at the addendum link. It seems it might be a bit over my head. Perhaps i will be able to make some sense of it over time. If it makes any difference, some of my files were made on standard discs but most were HiMD on RH1 and RH10; the majority on the latter as i found the larger scrolling display easier to work with, especially in low light.
My wife had a copy of Windows ME and i'm wondering if replacing W98 with it as a last resort might work with some other version SS that does not require internet connection to operate. But i will hold off on that for a while.
Anyway, perhaps there is still hope.
Thank-you again.
Thomas.
