I had all sorts of trouble with a W95 to W98 upgrade. On advice
from some helpful people on this list I put everything important
on to drive D, (second hard drive), reformatted C and installed
W98 from scratch - a horror of a job - but all is now (I hate to
admit!) much more satisfactory; faster and more stable, hardly any
of those "Illegal operation " notices which plagued W95.
