need help installing win 98 se on a win 98 beta - Club CDFreaks

Ifa · 12-10-1999

I have a copy of one of the original windows 98 beta's and I've just bought windows 98 second edition upgrade but it won't install, it says I haven't got the required win 98 files, is there any way round this?

TIP: DO NOT INSTALL WIN98SE, it's slower then 98, the bug fixes are minimal and there are hardware conflicts. (eg. my cd-writer won't function under it, my 3com ethernet card has serious problems running under it etc etc)

You must have got a bad copy, because mine works just brilliant!

You get problems with games like outcast you first need to have patch to install. When install is finished there is nothing on the harddrive. i also experiencing problems with directX
