<<CD-rom restore>> I have used mine a couple of times and it works fine ... HOWEVER, 1. I have long since visited the Microsoft site and added various useful updates to my Win98. These are of course not on the CD, so you have to reinstall any updates you may have accumulated from Microsoft - or any other vendors. 2. The CD puts back all the junk programs that I got rid of after getting comfortable with the system. These have to be removed again. 3. The CD does nothing to back up your data files. Be sure to back up data files regularly - bookmark files - e-mail files - anything you have accumulated that might be significant. There will come a day .... best policy is two sets of backup ZIPs or floppies, one out of the house. I am just now looking into using "Atrieva" which is an encrypted on-line back up service. Even there, two back up sets make sense. I once had a problem bad enough that it blew up my first back up set.
