HA> DS> Windows 98SE is prob the best version of windows I have ever run, and
HA> DS> like normal it depends who installs WHAT stupid games
HA> DS> into the system and of course who is download what
HA> DS> from the internet.

HA> I have certainly downloaded and tested to much odd software from internet,
HA> a lot of them did not work ok. For example a program to check out the
HA> PC locked up the computer.

OF course not. I would not exepct Todays latest and Greatest to not have
problems. BUT if you go back to the Win98Day and pick aqn equllivent
program al lis FINE.
And Win98 is not the BLOATED everything for Everybody MESS that WinXP
is.


HA> I have an old PC that ticks along at 166Mhz. Doubled the memory to 128Mb,
HA> i have strong suspicion that factor cuased much of the instability. The
HA>  specification says that is ok with 128Mb. Reduced the memory back to 64Mb
HA>  and it seems that system is more stable. No crash yet..., but the primary

IIF the MB was built to hanmdle 128 Meg I suspect you have either bad
memory or the Wrong Kind. NOT all memory is created Equal even if the
Specifications seem similar.


HA> My computer is to oudated to run XP! Use it only for writing texts and
HA> surf on the internet and programming experiment. No need for more speed,
HA> thou scanning is rather slow.


YOU HAVE TO Leave. According ot soem here there is NO one on Earth
can really get along anymore with Win98.


HA>  But there are some oddities in MS products, they
should perhaps be tested.

The USERS are the MicroSoft Beta Testers. Saddly soem things are
concidered of such minor inconviences that they are never fixed.
