I reinstalled Windows 98 SE in a second computer and have not been able to get sound or 256 color anymore. I still get it in the original computer.

Have you installed all the motherboard drivers yet? And if you don't have on-board audio and graphics, have you installed drivers for those devices as well?

Yes- you need to give us more information along those lines:

- Is the Win 98 install disk an OEM version that came with the old computer, or is it a full-blown, off-the-shelf Microsoft disk? If the installation disk came with the original, it may be tailored to that computer.

- What are the specific makes/models of each computer? Even if you have a full MS Win 98 disk, it won't have the proper drivers for your "second" computer if that computer is fairly new.
