Windows 98 To 98 Se?

[freak]

Ok I have windows 98 and is there a way to just upgrade my 98 to se without haveing to download a full ver... like a smaller upgrade cd...

[DWk]

i cant remember if SE had an upgrade disc....however the full version (which i think is like 450megs...not much of a download) can upgrade it :)

[freak]

I can't find a file that large on kazaa! all i find are like 126mb and i'm haveing trouble downloading it from irc. so do you or anyone else know where i can get a full version or an upgrade.

You CANNOT upgrade from 98 to 98SE. They are 2 completely different operaing systems.

If you try, you'll get an out of memory message. No matter how much hard drive or memory you have installed.

They forgot to include the "does not support upgrading" notes. You also can't install 2 side by side win9x OS's so it won't offer you that option.

ah ok...thx for the enlightment balamm :)

The Small version on KazaalLite (128mb) is the cut-down version and will probably work. All of the foreign languages and extra crap are removed by hackers.

yes i read what balamm said but that doesn't mean I can't do a full install! and the 128 mb ver i don't think it will boot unless your running under windows will it??>?

get yourself a windows bootdisk (any 9x will work (i use a 95b one)) from www.bootdisk.com (http://www.bootdisk.com) and to install just go to the cd drive (it tells you what drive it is when you boot and it may be different from in windows) then type setup and the win 98 setup will run.

Wow, somebody still using windows 98 :o . Whats the spec on your system, you might be able to install XP, which is much more stable.

[skelley521]

M$ will not support Windows 98, 98SE after Jan. 16th 2004.

[ObiWan]

I am using XP but i still have 98 and use it at college and when working on other peoples systems that dont support 2000 or xp

[Rip The Jacker]

What are your specs? Instead of Win 98SE, you might wanna try Win 2000.

naw 98 is fine for me... I don't really like XP

[freak]

98 allwaysed crashed and it gave me the blue sceen of death alot :) but it ran fast for video games xp is ram hog

[cwctv]

Stay with '98 piss XP I have had ME on this machine for two years NOT one problem I DON'T have any KaZaa problems either I have loaded/unloaded many,many things and STILL running.
And NO I have NO updates either via Microsoft just driver updates from esle where.

[balamm]

Yeah, no more MS updates for me either except on the server OS. I'm fed up with 50% reductions in performance, lockups, programs that won't run, permissions that don't work, media players I don't want updated, browsers I don't want updated, etc, etc, etc.

A good firewall, good antivirus, and a lot of common sense is all you really need.
