    i got around that by putting the ME defragger into 98.

    not too much of an annoyance, remember 98 had to be rebooted quite often because of performance issues, would get so sluggish after about 2 weeks anyway, so thats when I would do my defrag.

    Yeah, know about my sig, I don't have an updated url

    @Rperry & Rossco, My trick with defragging Win98 was a program called enditall, Its hard to find the free version but it's out there!

    Where did you find this copy of 98SE ? I was wondering if it was even a full install version ?

    I wish I would have known about that one. Well, I do have another old computer so maybe I'll try 98lite if I can't use win2000 like peat_moss suggested. Thanks.

    I think it was an ISO that came from suprnova. When I originally got it, it said that it was a full version. When it didn't work, I tried emule and got two more copies (both full versions)- the first was an ISO that did the same as the one from suprnova, the other was a rar file that work perfectly once unzipped and burnt to cd.
