I think Win98SE is a good solution.
Or even better, did you think of Linux ? This could be another solution. |

I would suggest to install [url=http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/sa/benefits/fundamentals.mspx]Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs
[/url] It will make your old PC run modern applications, more securely |
