Hi Slwince,

I can't remember what my problem was - memory !

However using a old machine to go to Vista can cause

a lot of problems. Core, Drivers, Special requirements

of hardware to conform to Vista, Software. American car

manufacturers used to have a planned obsolesce

philosophy. Buy a new car every 2 years. Well (in my

opinion) Microsoft has the same philosophy. By a new

computer every 3 or 4 years.

 

I use my Old Dell primarily for my wife's E-mail and not

much else. I back up the Windows 98 2nd ed regularily

with Acronis Trueimage. This has bailed me out several

times. When and only when the computer has a major

problem will I junk the machine.

 

I hope this helps.

Just curious, what was you problem w/ Win98 SE?  I am trying to upgrade my Win98SE to Win XP SP2 and I am just getting no where with it.  MS tech tells me its my computer that is the problem.  I know I have enough memory (512) and Disk space.

 

Anyone who can help???

Still can't find my original post for this thread.

But I think I was having trouble with Spellcheck in Outlook Express.
