I can still boot my puter into 98 as I have some programs that will not run in XP (left a small partions on one of my HDDs) :) and my 486 @ 120 would have a hard time with XP I believe.

Its caused us a nightmare here. All of our POS equipment is Win98 based. Having to work like a gimp to try and get the POS software to work on XP.

Mission.

Should have tried Windoze 1.0 then. I was still often dropping into dos to do things with 3.1.

1.0 was pretty dreadful tbh youre quite right about that

I still use Win 98 as its the only OS POCSAG will work with!

Ive used 98 all of a month. Overwrote it with Suse 7.2, knowing nothing about puters really, just that I HATED that motherf*****g paper clip. Rot in hell, you bitch! :)

I found that, as part of the Office installation process, you can make the Office Assistant "Unavailable". And that gives it the cyanide pill, most satisfactorily  :twisted:

Yep, Office installs a ton of similar crap no one wants or needs, rid of it during the advanced installation and all will be well. :-)
