Comment: I am trying to upgrade my Win95A to Win98SE using an upgrade cd on my computer. I installed it on another computer sucessfully, but on this one it stalled in windows. I restarted the computer using my new win98 startup disk with cd-rom support and tried running setup. It then said it requires at least 16 Mb of memory and aborted the install and I know I have at least twice as much! I tried returning to Win 95 but it won't do it. I already heard that I may need to reformat the drive, but I really don't want to if there is any other way.
