Hi, I pushed re-boot button on my old 700MHz, 260RAM PC because it could not find the mouse driver.

WIN98 > WIN98SE by Christopher
I have WIN98 OEM on an IBM Aptiva Desktop. I have WIN98SE OEM on an IBM Thinkpad Laptop. Is there any reason why the WIN98SE should not work on the Desktop ? My reason for asking is that a number of applications seem to have 98SE as a minimum requirement.

Win98 CD by Copernicus
I read on a post in another forum that the product code that came with the Windows 98 CD must be used because it is embeded in the CD. If this is true, is there anyway to retrieve the code from the CD?
