I just don't understand. I have Win98 and it works just fine - no problems at
all and you have a nightmare. Unless you have a defective copy of Win98 it
should work. From my personal empirical evidence Win98 works (it's a fact).
Maybe your computer set up is incorrect - you must of had problems with Win95. I
know of no cards or drivers that worked with '95 not working under '98. I
installed Win98 over '95 and all programs and files work the same or better.
Take your copy back for an exchange (hopefully your not using a beta or
blackmarket copy) because as said, it's a fact, Win98 works.
