Alright!
Got back from the computer store, it was the graphics card that went kaput like you said Tiido, and on my way home I noticed that one of the caps on the graphics card board has come off at one of the points. Eventually I'll solder than back on.
For now though I'm just going to install the OS with the integrated graphics on the motherboard and worry about the graphics card later.
The biggest problem right now is getting the hard drive formatted. I have a 120gb HDD and for some reason the format.com program won't extract to the floppy disk. Is there a way I can get it to run off the CD Drive?
UPDATE: Windows 98 is currently installing, HDD is formatting correctly. All I need to do now is fix the graphics card so that I can use it in another PC and then find an ATI card for this machine.Last edited by 16-bit; 07-11-2012 at 09:51 PM.

Alright. OS is installed, trying to get the onboard cable modem to connect to the internet. Having a bit of a hard time there, I only need it for a little bit just to get the windows updates. Do I need those before installing KernelEX?

A mod should really move this thread to Tech Aid.

KernelEx would be the very last thing to install !

Ok, so then it's time to figure out some way to get the onboard cable modem to work so I can get the updates!
Should I install the unnoficial Windows 98 SE service pack? Originally Posted by Joe Redifer

Do you mean the onboard LAN/Ethernet adapter? Is the driver installed in device manager?

Yes, the LAN/Ethernet adapter.
In the device manager it detects the adapter, but it says that there's no drivers found for the device. Originally Posted by Joe Redifer

In that case you need the driver, no update is going to solve the problem. I would search online by the exact operating system and motherboard model. You actually need to know the exact Ethernet adapter that is built in to the board, from there the driver should be easy to find.

windows update for 98 has been closed down for months. Go download uSP3.something and install it instead, just make sure to pay attention to the checkboxes, it is not just next next next next install !

Alright. So do I do uSP3 before or after I install drivers for the graphics card, LAN adapter, and IE6? Or does it matter?

You should just make sure all the drivers are working properly before worrying about OS modifications. It sucks having to do things with a low resolution.

Everything works great! I had to downgrade my ram to 512 MB and buy a new graphics card (an ATI 9800 pro).
I'll take pictures and screenshots after I get opera and avast working properly. Thanks for all the help guys! Originally Posted by Joe Redifer
