More info?)
Along with Glee's fine advice, you can get ndis.vxd from a person with a
98SE or Millenium Edition OS computer.
After you load 98 on your computer you described, and you get the NDIS
error. Turn the PC off. Put in a startup diskette and boot. Rename the
old ndis.vxd to ndis.98, and copy the new ndis.vxd to the windows/system
folder. Remove the startup diskette, and reboot.
Be sure to save the new ndis.vxd in case you have to install 98 again
someday.
