Hi, I stumbled across this forum quite randomly and am quite interested in using the unofficial service pack, the revolutions pack and 98SE2ME. My question is - how do each of these pieces of software affect the speed of Windows and the size of it on the hard disk? And also, are they compatible with 98lite? Thanks

No-one?

Thanks for the replies. Why do I want Office 2003? Put simply, it's what I use at home and at work, and I'd rather have the same version everywhere, so Office isn't constantly trying (and usually failing) to convert all my work between different versions! Also, something I forgot to mention - I think in the light of how much my laptop will struggle just running XP and Office, I won't use it for anything else at all (will have a separate Win98 partition for emails etc...). As this means I won't be connecting to the internet in XP (hence ruling out most of the benefits of SP2 I guess), will SP2 be a help or hindrance to speed/hard disk space. I'm not averse to the Win 2000 option though. Is it a much less resource-hungry operating system?

That's the problem. It creates a shortcut no problem, but it only works for 2 or 3 times after that. I'm guessing this is a well-known problem...

Is there any way of putting a shortcut to my CD drive on the Win98se desktop? I know it should be as easy as just dragging one over, but that stops working after a day usually! Alt

Hi, I have a really old laptop (~500MHz) that I need to be able to run Office 2003 on. As there doesn't seem to be any way of installing Office 2003 on Win98, I guess I have no choice but to install XP. So my question is: What installation of XP should I use to allow it to run on my laptop: - as quickly as possible - with as small a hard disk partition as possible Should I use home or pro? SP2 or not? Minimal or custom install? Thanks Alt
