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.

Thanks for staying with me, Hal.
One important question: You're referring to Win 98 Win98SE ....
My software is Win98Win98 *Me*. I do have the full install
disk but hate to go back that far. Does what you say about SE
apply exactly with ME also?

The chipset and drivers that came with this XP machine are
S3 Pro Savage DDR ....and I went to S3's site and found drivers
for 98, all types. Downloaded them, copied them to 98 in a 'temps3'
directory, and then booted up the 98 system. Dbl-clicked on the
downloaded zipped file and it automatically unzipped in that
directory. That's the good news. The bad news is that there is no
'Setup' or 'Install' or any executable file. Perhaps I have to install
it via a Device Manager or equivalent. Could I impose on you for
step-by-step instructions for doing so? And thanks again.
