Is there anyway to upgrade win98 to win98 SE full version??

[steveakaflash]

I tried to upgrade within windows, then tried to boot off the cd and it still detects that I need the upgrade. All I want to do is load this version over my exsisting copy. Any way to do it?

Start>Run then type D:\setup.exe from windows. D: being your cdrom. It shouild work. Or copy the file from th cd to your hdd the run setup.exe from there.
This should work.

Better yet...... use a boot diskette, and boot your pc. Then rename win.com to win.bak (or some other suitable alternative)

Then copy the contents of the win98 directory from the cd to your c:\windows\options\cabs directory. Then run setup.exe from that directory on your hard-disk, and the new version of win98 will install right over the top of the other one. It will even keep all your shortcuts and programs intact.

The last time I had to do this it was 98 release 1 over W95, I had to rename win.com explorer.exe and win.ini I think, it then went straight over and kept all the settings from W95
