That being said, if you don't want to format and really want to simply update to 2nd edition using this cd, and you manage to borrow or somehow acquire a Windows 3.1 or 95 floppy or cd, you can delete win.com from the Windows folder in dos, then boot from a startup floppy. Run setup from the cd, insert your proof with the Win 3.1 or 95 when asked, and change the Windows folder to where yours is currently (usually C:\WINDOWS). It is recommended (by Microsoft) that you first normally uninstall from add/remove programs Internet Explorer if you have updated it from the IE4 origionally installed by Windows 98 1st Edition.
Setup will then install Windows 98SE, replacing your current Windows files with the updated versions, include all the additional 98SE parts, and still leave your installed programs all connected properly in the registry. |
