***OT***
I just upgraded my OS to OSR2 to get AGP support but it wasn't easy. (Jeff, I been thru that same scenario so many times that I have it all memorized and now I go out doing trouble calls for extra $$$).
To install OSR2 with USB/AGP support you need to eliminate all references to OSR1 or it won't install. It even checks other drives and if it finds references to OSR1 it quits. I needed AGP support and didn't want to spend 80-90 bucks for Win98 so I backed up everything critical, reformatted the HDD, installed OSR2 with a disk provided with a new computer, and reinstalled all my software. Painful but I don't think there's any other way short of buying Win98. It's been my experience that its only a matter of time before Win95 gets bogged down with superflous Registry entries, .dll's, and truncated files, until it begins crashing anyway, so the whole backup, reformat, reinstall cycle is inevitable anyway.
At tip for those using Outlook98. Relentlessly track down the "outlook.pst" file (its well hidden) and back it, up or lose all emails, tasks, and contacts.
Hope this helps, Mike |
