Computer help needed please

I bought an old pc for the kids, it has windows 98, I decided it would be clever to install windows 98SE (I must mention I know nothing about computers!!) I was told by my dad that I could buy a wireless card so they could play on the internet. Installed 98SE but now dont have any drivers. Need a HP Pulsar 5480E graphics/video driver, think I need others too but dont know what, cant find any! I feel like throwing the stupid thing out of the window, please help!!!!!:confused:

    Pulsar 5480E returns so few entries on google that I am pretty sure you have
    the computers name wrong.
    I would download some free program to tell you a bit about the machine.

    Might help.

    Have you any on screen display at all?

    You can download and run CPU-Z

    Is there an Ethernet card/connection on the PC?

    Once online, you can use Driver Genius Professional Edition
