Where can I get a thorough guide, manual, tutorial on the ECS Elite
Notebook computer?  I bought a brand new one in July, and all that
came with it was a "quick guide" that told me almost nothing--(in 5
languages).  This laptop has a 10 gig hard drive, CD burner, DVD
player, etc. but I am  not able to make good use of it without
support,which didn't come with it.  (It has Windows 98--at my
request).

Unfortunately, ECS does not provide any useful support for their
notebooks, especially when used with Windows 98. The reason they
recommend Windows XP for use with all of their notebooks, is because
WinXP has native support for all of the components used in their
notebooks, freeing them from the need to provide any additional
drivers and support. Win98, on the other hand, will not have native
support for the vast majority of the new components used in the
notebook, such as the CD-burner, DVD support, and even some aspects of
power management.

One possible solution for you is to contact directly via their contact site:

and ask them specifically for assistance.
