After making the previous video on the IBM Thinkpad 760LD, I tried (off camera) installing some software.  Well, something happened after that with the screensaver.  As you may remember I had it set to display the slideshow (as if a digital picture frame).  It would go to try to display the pictures, it would read all of them, but then just go back to the desktop.

There is no System Restore under Windows 98.  There is a way to restore the previous registry, but that only caused more problems.  I was able to get back the original one and the problem persisted.

So now it was time to apply an image I took of the machine back when I had installed the OS.  The problem was to do so, as the machine will not boot from CD-ROM, and has no USB ports, I had to remove the hard drive, and hook it up to a different machine via a USB to IDE adapter.  Easier said than done, due to the way IBM packaged the hard drive.
