Default Windows 98 Installation disks

My computer was pre-loaded with Windows when I got it. I
am trying to install new software, but it tells me I need
to install CD #2 of the windows installation package.
Since I don't have any disks, does anyone know what I can
do? Thanks

try pointing the installer to c:\windows\options\cabs

(if you have such a folder)

If you did not get the disk option the install files are found in
\windows\option\cabs.

Try and see if they are there. If so point to that location when asked for
the cd.
