Just FYI, AVG 7.5 works fine on Win98SE, and is supported till the end of
2008.

finger to keyboard and composed:

I'm going to see if I can run down the tech and find out.
I wish now I would have held on to my old win98se disks that had 98 programs
on, i.e. Adobe Reader, etc.
None of the newer version run on 98....

Probably a download that only supports Win2K, I imagine. You'd have to locate an
older download elsewhere, of the Win98-compatible installer. It's probably not
worth the effort, as Avast is a much better product.
