if i'm not mistaken, win98 was originally marketed as being faster than win95. some sort of claim on the software packaging said it loaded faster and ran apps quicker. i don't know. i'm still using 95. :) mark

Thanks again, I will check and see what is on my computer before doing anything. Service pack available now for Win98, suppose to fix the bugs, I have downloaded, but I don't know what, if anything, it has fixed on my computer. <g> This is the link to get the upgrade if anyone is interested: windowsupdate.microsoft.com kanda

Hi Cheeky, I just thought I would mention this here. During the regular scheduled maintenance on my computer this weekend, I received a message that defraging could not proceed because I had boot drive errors! This is the first time, that ever happened. I ran Scandisk, discovered and fixed it, but I didn't have those errors the week before and the only thing I had done differently last week was download the Win98 upgrade. So, it may just be my computer, but anyone who has downloaded the upgrade might want to run Scandisk just to check it out.. kanda
