Un-installing Windows 98
I've been having a problem with my computer and it
constantly locks up just from trying to open My Computer. I assume something is terribly wrong with it and I've been trying to un-install Windows 98 and re-install it. But I don't know what to do, I've tried what the site suggested but nothing has worked. Have any ideas? |

Un-installing Windows 98
The only way you can uninstall W98 is if you upgraded over W95 and elected
to save the W95 files during installation. There would be a W98 entry on add remove in the control panel. Other than that, you can format the C: drive and reinstall (all data on C: lost), reinstall to a new folder (data is retained but requires extra hard drive space) or install over the top of the existing system (probably will not fix the problem). For information on installing W98, go to: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour/html/w98_restore.html How to Install Windows 98 Into a New Folder http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=193902 -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Kyle" wrote in message ...
