ramchaza Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'm still using Win98, but want to upgrade to Win98SE. Can't find a download anywhere yet and can't even find a reliable cd. Anyone have a download to upgrade? I did hear there was one but can't find it. Please help? Thanks~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roving Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 You've gotta be kidding me. If you can't find a vendor, there's always E-Bay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGx Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 This is what I tell 98SE2ME users who don't have a WinME setup CD, and this is also valid for Win98 SE setup CD (quoted from READ1ST.TXT):If you don't have Windows ME CD or CABs:- borrow from a friend, coworker or family member- or buy a new or used (cheaper) Upgrade, Step-Up (cheapest), Full or OEM English CD [shop around for best price 1st]:- eBay:http://search.ebay.com/Windows-Millennium- Froogle Google:http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=Windows+Millennium- PriceWatch:http://castle.pricewatch.com/s/search.asp?...dows+Millennium- Street Price Watch:http://www.mdgx.com/bench.htm#PRICJust replace the search terms in URLs above with:Windows-98-Second-EditionorWindows+98+Second+EditionHope this helps.

Better to do a FULL upgrade from Win98FE to Win98SE by purchasing the Win98se CD if you can find one online OR find some sites that have the actual W98se setup files and download them from there since MS had retired support for Win98seMicrosoft has published a list of resellers and companies who distributed illegal or counterfeit copies of Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 at these pages:http://www.microsoft.com/piracy/partners/default.mspxhttp://www.microsoft.com/piracy/partners/alerts.mspxAVOID doing business with these people! Look for other vendors who sell those "good" copies of Windows XP instead.Windows 98 SE, on the other hand, is another story-erpdude Edited October 3, 2006 by erpdude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 XP I can understand, but I doubt anyone actually sells 98se original anymore... at least around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Yeah, even sealed retail box versions are still around. Some on web stores, others on ebay. They've been going up in price lately after being available at about half the normal price for quite some time. Now they're almost nearing full retail price again.Soon to disappear, I'd think.

CLASYS Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 well, we all should hope the retail boxed versions of 98se are legit. dont want anybody using a fake copy of win98se.I actually have a bootleg of Windows 95B!Back in the days when having burners was mostly an expensive dream, and no one really expected to pay for pressed CDs [now you can do about 1000 for under $1000 totally packaged, printed artwork and printed media and printed jewel case inserts, plastic jewel case, shrink-wrapped.], someone actually made a close counterfit to MS:1) It was a pressed CD, but the silvery print on the top was slightly reduced in size compared to a real one.2) The volue name on the pressed CD is TEST.I don't know where the guy got the disk, but it was used to install his system [which was flakey for likely many other reasons!]cjl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't mention the sites on this forum.I think LLXX and Eck made good points that 98se CDs are no longer being sold.
