WinZip 8.0 running v. slowly (now 98lite)

Yes, there is a total of 11 files including the 3 main ones. The reason for all this is that the Czech site I gave you the link for has the last Skype for 98 and it won't install under Lite. Ah. Let's hope it's only the installer! Who the hell knows. They're COMDLG32.DLL, EXPLORER.EXE and SHELL32.DLL. But as I said, the only one I have in the W98 version is the shell. Whatever. Who cares. Hmm. Thinking about it, I'm not _not_ sure whether I did the shell switching using 98lite (though I still _think_ it can do it); I think I just swapped the files (in DOS, of course [where I have XTree Gold which makes things easier]) - I think possibly just the two, explorer.* and shell32.*, with their '98 equivalents; after a reboot, it came up looking enough like '98 to allow an installation (that wouldn't run under "95") to run. Then (in DOS again) switch them back. [] Well, that sounds simple enough and promising. Worth a try. Thanks. Acronising is easier. And I enjoy the 45 minute endless idiot But how does Acronising help you install something that won't? Absolutely correct. My statement made no sense - although of course, if you have an Acronis of a full 98SE and an Acronis of a Lite, you can replace contents of C: with whichever you need - IOW, I could /conceivably/ use the FULL 98se if I wanted to use the "Skype for 98" - if it works at all, which is yet unknown - and for everything else I would use Lite. Of course, that's a little insane, but so am I. question/answer process of a Windows OS install. Do you really? Assuming you're being sarcastic, you need soporific's unattended boot CD (UBCD). Probably worth getting the Windows 98 tenth anniversary edition, which is a version of the UBCD. [] Yes, I have an unattended hacked boot of 98. I think. There are SO many of them around.
