Should be able to use your Win98se CD whatever version except Update (it requires 98 installed). Rename WIN.COM to WIN.BAK and charge on.

It's not really a good idea to install Win98 SE on top of Win95. It can be done, but you will almost certainly run into nagging little problems eventually. You're best off doing a "clean" install.

Minor exception the to first post in that I updated Win95 using the Win98se upgrade disk as that was its intention.
