 Upgrade from98se, 2007-09-07
I waited until the last moment, but when I heard MS stopped shipping XP I knew I had to take the plunge.
Time to toss the well worn copy of 98 and upgrade!
I was worried about my old machine handling XPsp2, but it did. After disabling some of the advanced features my computer actually runs a bit quicker now.
The upgrade process went without a hitch. Make sure to use the dynamic update option and it will automatically update your incompatible drivers.
Fired right up after a very long installation and 86! updates from MS and blows away 98 when it comes to crashes. Used to be a daily routine, now i forgot what that blue screen even looks like.
Great way to upate, 2007-06-26
And the price is reasonable
And after the second addition
know most of the kinks are worked out!

 Upgrade from Win 98 to XP, 2007-05-25
I loaded the upgrade with no problems but my RAM was not adequate to run the program and it corrupted my hard drive. I had to go thru the recovery process and lost all my files. I ended up buying a new computer with Vista and now none of the 98 programs work. I should have left my 98 windows alone.

It was going to take hours to install and the warning said some programs would be corrupted. Microsoft confirmed these anomolies.

 Win 98 to Win XP sp 2 upgrade -- creates more problems than it solves, 2007-05-12
Wife's computer did not have access to the internet, she complained, I puchased a USB wireless router for my PowerMac 4 and USB wireless adapter for her PC. The appeal of USB hookup being the hardware determining factor. Alas, the adapter would not work with Win 98 according to the manufacturer. I decided to upgrade her system to Win XP. Installation of XP went smoothly, the wireless network worked beautifully -- no files or data were lost; however, most every device attached to the WIN XP would not work because of driver incompatibilities. I had to contact NUANCE for scanner drivers ( and had to upgrade my Paperport software from Ver 6xx to version 7xx. My 2 printers required drivers from SONY and HP in order to work. My IOMEGA Zip required a new driver, my USB hub -- same. And WIN XP refuses to recognize my sound card so that I have lost sound capabilities. Microsoft has tried to solve my problem and their expert spent hours trying drivers from my original Win 98 CD -- no luck. They even tried to contact SONIC for a driver, this is still an open mattter awaiting solution. Bottomline: Win XP upgrade works fine, Microsoft support is very good, but upgrading created more problems than it solved.
