Back to Win 98

Post by El Brenty »

I've just erased Win XP from a spare computer only to install Win 98SE.

WHY you may be asking?

Because I'm coming up time after time where I need to use old programs, and they won't work on the more sophisticated frame of XP.

Not only have I been having problems with old software (Which could have been solved in most cases by buying upgrades), but I have hardware that is no longer supported either, such as a scanner.

So, my advise for anyone with a network of computers who'se upgrading to XP (Or whatever may be the replacement in the future), leave 1 computer with the old operating system running.

Anyone else had these problems?

Yeah I've got ME on my laptop and am quite happy with that.
