Original as in OEM or Retail?
OEM is a joke. I wish I&#39;d recorded a support call I made to MS Seattle about their wiindows media player 7. I think it was 6 that came with the OS. I upgraded to 7 and the damn thing closed as fast as I opened it. Because I had an OEM designation in my serial number, MS refused to answer any of my questions. They offered paid incident support instead. I couldn&#39;t get through to them that it wasn&#39;t windows 98 OEM that I had a problem with, it was windows media 7 and the error messages told me to contact the software author, MS&#33;
They gave me a list from the OEM numbers and insisted I should contact the manufacturer that sold the computer back in 98. I did manage to find out what became of the company, they were merged with several others and became a super high tech supplier. So much for their support.
That was the last time I called MS or paid for anything that had anything to do with MS.
I think they later rewrote the details of some player updates because windows 98 and windows 98SE are two different OS&#39;s and some players won&#39;t work in the first edition.
Solution, I shelved the OEM and "borrowed" a copy of win98SE. Retail&#33; Legit&#33; :lol:
