I am trying to reach Daveincaps. A couple of months ago he aided a Virginia in upgrading Win 98 to Win 98SE using the Win 98SE install disc she had.
I have the same problem and would appreciate ANYONE who would give me step-by-stwep instructions. He said someting about renaming files/folders that I could not follow (ren c\windows...)

I believe you added onto a older thread and I posted back there. I think you're just talking about upgrading to SE using a full version cd. Anyway, rather than me reprinting everything you can refer to that previous thread:

Just do a search for a file called win.com...rename win.com entries to win.old (there may be more than one), reboot & install 98SE as you normally would (I'm assuming you know how)...just make sure it installs into C:\windows & not C:\windows.000

Jam/DAVEINCAPS: Please my not replying sooner. The instructions I recieved from you were just great. I finished the upgrading this morning, without a single problem.
Many thanks, and if you are ever in Media, PA, look me up. I owe you all a beer or two

You're welcome. I'm glad you got it upgraded. Sometimes the instructions make things seem a lot more difficult than they actually are.
