One problem I am having here with some of the files on my 98se
is that I can't execute them because I am using a 64 bit OS.
The XP is x64.

And I can't use extract.exe with the cabinet files while
using XP x64.


(as I shake my head...)

You're not supposed to run the extract.exe from the CD.


Oh I copy it to XP. I don't try to extract from the win98 CD.

It's a 16-bit
program - no wonder it won't run on a 64-bit NT-based OS.

From your file-explorer, right-click on the cab file and select
"extract". It's that simple.
