I have a good performing Windows 98SE machine with the following
characteristics:
PII 300 MHz processor
324 megs ram
2 - 20 GHz hard drives, each about 50% full
All updates from MS Windows update site
ZA
AVAST!
Host file
SpywareBlaster
AdAware
Lot of Apps
Comcast cable
The machine works fine and is free of spyware and viruses. I would like to
keep 98SE as long as possible. Except for the speed limitation and poor
performance on videos, it suits my needs quite well.
My question:
I have read quite a lot about an unofficial Windows 98SE Service Pack 2.1a,
a free download touted to greatly improve the performance of 98SE. Should I
try it out? What is the risk that it could trash my machine, and if it did,
could I recover with a simple scanreg /restore operation if something went
astray?
I'd be interested in the opinions of some of the MS MVPs and anyone else on
this site who has had experience with the subject mods
Thanks in advance
