Hi George
I would put Win98se on. It should find your hardware ok and if not drivers can
be found on the HP/Compaq site.
I wouldn’t recommend Win2k as this will run a bit slower and I doubt that your
rebel 4 programme will run as Win2K only has simulated DOS.
You should get IM strength with Rebel 4.

Best
