Please Help Me ...I Think I Was Cheated....?

Question

I purchased an Intel P4, XP CPU from a local dealer at New Panvel in New Bombay (India) by paying Rupees 15, 550/-. The dealer promised me Moon but I expected only minimum service from them. When, some prominent dealers in Vashi (New Bombay) offered me the same system –XP-P4 for just Rupees 13, 500/-, the local dealer advised me to be “cautious” with prominent dealer of Vashi and agreed to provide me best service on XP P4 for 15, 550/=. I blindly trusted them agreed and paid them the money.

Since some of my software works only on Window 98, I requested him to make duel my system by providing me Window 98 as well as XP. However after installation of a brand called GIGABYTE (he gave just the box of the said brand and said he had installed it) now my Internet works only on Window 98, the dealer says that Reliance Mobile (which I use for my internet connections-LG 5340) will work only on Window 98 and never work simultaneously on XP and Window 98.

I think they have cheated me, hence I want to get my doubt cleared from either the Microsoft or the Reliance -whether the local dealer is right on his part or just fooling me. Hence I request you to guide me in this regard. I stay in a remote place in Maharashtra (India) and Internet connection is a must for my business. I had to barrow Rupees sixteen thousand for interest and paying back the money without satisfactions. Please help me in this regard…to whom I should contact in order to get my doubt cleared and also to get prompt service such as getting Internet connection on my XP too.

Answer 1

Edit your question and remove "I think i was cheated ".
and add " dualboot Xp & win98"

Do you have the genuine Windows XP ?????
Did the dealer load a pirated version of XP and windows98 ?
Can you run XP ? Can you Update it on line ?
Report to Microsoft and get a free XP cd
( or at a lesser price) for installation .
Para two : As soon as you switch on your computer
press F8 and select the OS you want.
If you have warranty for one year from the
dealer he is bound to check up your computer.
Para three
The network connection for XP has to be done again.
Try the Internet connection wizard in XP
Para Four : Programs working on 98 will work on xp also.
and if not you can click properties for the program and
select compatability for 98. in XP.

Para Five : down load this free program Belarc advisor
and find out what is in you system
