MS can replace retail versions (full or upgrade) of Windows 98 but *not* OEM
versions (says on the CD: to be distributed with a new PC, or words to that effect) or restore CDs like HP and Compaq issued. US and Canadian customers can order a retail replacement CD for a fee by calling: 800-360-7561 -- 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 "Stevie" wrote in message ...

No, a download is not possible. I would suggest that you have the UK office
contact the Microsoft Order Desk for Supplemental Parts at 1-800-360-7561 (or whatever works from the UK). Perhaps the US office has not shared this replacement deal with the UK office or maybe it is not available in the UK. Tell them that this replacement information is being put out on the MS newsgroups by a MS MVP. -- 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 "Stevie" wrote in message ...
