Good to mentioned that. Do you know how old though? You know that each human life year in computer calender is equal to 25 years. So calculate the human counterpart age of this PC for yourself.
Having said that, if you must use this pc, then you need to give us some more info. Is this Windows 98 that is the OS or is it Win-98 SE (Second edition)? How much of Free Hard Drive space is available? what is the driver's size and ram on the system. What is the video card and its ram?
Just to give a broad idea, Win 98 is not able to recognize USB port. This is rectified by SE version. The down load to SE was available for free on MS site but as it is years that they do not support 98 anymore, I don't think you can find it there though other site surely have it, google it.
To try attaching your XTi to 98 might not be a good thought. Instead one thing that is sure to work is to fine an old CF reader that has Win 98 driver and then install and attach it, then transfer your memory card to it for downloading images and formating CF. I guess this is your best bet. BTW you need XP, if not vista, no mater what. Talk to places that have rapid turnover on PCs such as schools or institutes in neighborhood and find out how you can get one of the old ones (At discount price or whatever) when they upgrade or check ads at dorms, newspaper etc. Then donate that PC to where you use it, for your own benefit.
