Upgrading from Win95 to Win98SE
An old laptop with Win95 I upgraded with Win98 Second
Edition "Upgrade" CD. However, when I next try to update Win98 with my Win98 Second Edition "Updates" CD, I do the following: 1) Insert CD 2) Click "Add/Remove Software" 3) Click "Have Disk" on "Windows Setup" tab in Add/Remove Software Properties" pop-up 4) But then I get "install from disk" and "copy manufacturer's files from A:/" PROBLEM at this point: the Win98SE Updates CD is in the E:/ drive NOT the A:/ So QUESTION: How do I get the hard drive's Win98SE updated by the files on the CD? Also, are there any Win98SE updates on the MS website that should be downloaded AFTER I get the CD Update taken care of? Thanx. |

Upgrading from Win95 to Win98SE
Forget going to the control panel and simply, install the CD..... assuming
you've not disabled it, the CD will auto-run. From there's, it's simply a case of clicking a few options. -- Regards Steven Burn Ur I.T. Mate Group www.it-mate.co.uk Keeping it FREE!

Upgrading from Win95 to Win98SE
If the Update CD doesn't run, look at it in Explorer and click setup.exe.
There are a ton of updates for SE--look for the update shortcut on the start menu and go there. -- 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 "oncogene943" wrote in message ...
