I doubt that a Win98 = Win98SE CD will have the correct files on it. The
usual method for adding Windows components is to install them from the
original media (which would probably be Windows 98), then re-run the 98 to
98SE upgrade. The only 98SE disk that would work would be a 98SE install
disk or a 95 to 98SE upgrade. Simply put, you need a full install disk.

Yes, "Print to the following PORT" is what I meant. For method 1, you'd
click the "Capture Printer Port" button, put "USB002" in the lower
"Path"
window and set your choice of LPT ports in the "Device" window. If
that's
what you tried and it didn't work, sadly, I'm not surprised; Win98 just
doesn't do USB very well.

In order for "Sharing" to appear on the right click menu, you first have
to
turn on Printer Sharing. Right click Network Neighborhood, select
"Properties", click the "File and Printer Sharing" button, and add a
checkmark to "I want to be able to allow others to print to my
printer(s)".
With this done, right click the printer, click Sharing, click the
"Shared
as" radio button, and give it a Share Name. The "Computername" of your
PC is
available from Network Neighborhood properties on the "Identification"
tab.
At this point, you will hopefully be able to plug
"\\computername\sharename"
into the Path window. I don't know if this will work either, but it
won't
hurt to try.

Hal, as happens so often, it is one step forward, two steps back.
I tried the steps you listed, and as an aside I found my computer
name...one *I* certainly didn't give it (D8B7K9).I Right Clicked
Neighborhood, got to File & Printer Sharing button, checked "allow
others to print etcetera". Closed or OK, whatever, and now it hit
the fan. Window opened, "Copying files.....Insert 98 CDROM". Did
that, waited, pressed OK, and now I got "Can't find Secur32.dll".
Below that, "Copy from C:\Windows\options\CABS", tried a few times,
had to abort the whole procedure and come back to say "*HELP*".
In the process of leading me past the above hurdles, you might
consider this: I have a CD which is to Upgrade 98 to 98ME. Do
you feel that ME is more modern and maybe more complete?

Incidentally I went to Microsoft download site looking for
SPs for 98, and found nothing applicable other than an IE upgrade. I
already have IE 6, good enough.

Over to you...and thanks. I hope you have as much patience as I do.
