Earlier I wrote of my severe problems upgrading to Win98 - a real
disaster. Someone on this post said "Format C and start again!"
which I did. Not a procedure for the faint-hearted, I can attest.
My version of Win98 is an upgrade and I was required to show 5
Win3.1 disks to the machine for authentication of my right to
Upgrade. I had previously stored important data on Drive D. No
problems with reinstalling and running Metastock (v6.0) although a
few with another similar program which I will not name. Win98 is
IMHO marginally better and a trifle faster and more stable than
Win95. But I would not have done it if I had known what a Pandora's
Box I was opening.
