Summary: Not Anything New
Review: Hi i installed this product thinking that it might have some new stuff from my old version of windows 98 well i have two computers one that was running windows 98 and another with windows 98 Se.
well windows 98 second edition had basicly nothing new prior to the reg. version of 98 exept more crashes and lockups and blue windows so if your hoping for this product to be new from you original windows 98 version i just want you to know that there is nothing new exept your system having a million problems , slowness and also be prepared to spend alot of money on support
i reccommened to upgrade 2 windows ME

Summary: Should Be Callled errors 98! buy windows me instead
Review: This Program I dont advise buying it has all kinds of bugs and windows update you see like one million critical updates that eat your hard disk space and it throws up blue screens all the time and almost every time i try to install anything it throws a error at me or some other thing at me and i have to restart my computer all the time and my computer has 128mb ram 40gb hard drive and a 700mgh pc and almost no matter what pc you have windows 98 is not worth the hours of headache is causes it's just not a stable OS and if you feel like throwing your money away buy windows 98 but i finally got windows me and it works great so dont buy windows 98 if you have it buy windows me

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Unstable OS Needs More
Review: I rate this three stars because it is faulty it throws up blue windows and we got a new computer because are old one was screwed up so then it had windows 98 SE. on it and this computer is well able to support windows 98 700 MGH. 130 MGS. of ram and a 40 GB. 7200 RPM Hard drive and i have still run in to a few small problems i would not use or install this on any small computer under 300.mgh it is a suprise that windows ME does a much better job at small and large computers if you are trying to decide between Windows Me Or Windows 98 i would go with WINDOWS ME trust me i have run windows 98 for Four years!

Summary: Micro$oft... and thats all...
Review: Its a computer O/S... i really dont like it but because Microsoft is so common and well supported i guess it will have to do... wann hint get a good book and buy linux it wont crash as much... it only gets 2 stars because it has so many programs that work with it.... Its my opinion that this O/S is not worth even 5 cents.

Summary: BUGS BUGS BUGS
Review: OS upgrades stink. I resisted the upgrade to 98 because I knew it would be a pain in the rear. It was and is... half the time I can't even boot. I was fine until I did the stupid upgrade.

Summary: Olympus c4040 download incapability
Review: I worked for almost 2 hours with a microsoft technician over the telephone however software would not download the digital image into the pc. Olympus comes with the Camedia Master 2.5 software. I was told that the Windows 98 upgrade for the Windows 95 includes all the drivers necessary to work in conjunction with Camedia. However my discussion with the technician at Olympus says that Camedia only works with Windows 98 2nd Edition. I would appreciate any feedback.

Summary: Pretty Good Upgrade.
Review: This software package is supposed to be the improved version of Windows 95, true it is reliable but there are no new features that jump right out at you, I upgraded my home PC from Windows 95b to 98SE because of constant freezes in 95 and for the most part I have been pretty satisfied with it's performance. it does include newer versions of Internet Explorer and it has a better driver database but other than that it's ok. If you are using 95a or 95b, I recommend that you buy this upgrade it will have your system running better with new utilities and it will be easier for you to install hardware with the new drivers database. The memory requirements according to Microsoft.com say 24mb, but I recommend 32 and up the more you have the faster it will run.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not for the feint of heart
Review: If you have an older or tempermental computer, beware of this program. If you have no computer skills, have a friend at your side during this process which could last several hours.

My brave little Pentium I froze when the program tried to load for the first time. After trying to reboot about 10 times or so, I put in the back up disk and read the "readme.txt." It provided me with good suggestions on how to deal with the problem.

I had to start for the first time in safe mode and then rebooted in normal mode. This worked for me, but it took more rebooting to get the entire program up and running.

Also the instruction book suggests backing up all your filed prior to installation. I would recommend this if nothing else than for peace of mind should your computer react poorly to the program.

It could take an hour to load the program or it could take all day with troubleshooting. Be prepared to be frustrated. Make sure you have the time and try not to hurt yourself or your computer in the process.
