it. Thanks



I would make sure are your drivers will support 98 or 98SE and also
realize that it may be difficult to get newer hardware for 98(98SE)
especially since the end of support for 98, 98SE and ME which ended on
July 11, 2006. In addition, make sure your machine has a firewall
before using the Internet. A good hardware firewall such as one built
into a router is a good choice. Later on you can install anti-spyware
programs and an anti-virus program to help protect your computer.
Finally, remember that you need Internet Explorer 6 sp1 in order to
access Windows Update for all the updates to this operating system.
Congratulations, on your good decision and may your experience be as
rewarding as mine has been so far with this operating system. (98SE in
my case)
