Here is what i wanted to say...
Win98se is more a mixed OS some 16bit/mostly 32bit. DOS was the last 16 bit only OS MS made.
Has for your problems GM, just because you do not know how to install win2k properly doesn't mean it is a bad OS. Your problem are user created and thats that. If you don't like then just sell your copy to someone who can make better use of it. Has for me I dual boot win2k and win ME. Win2k is a workhorse of an OS, and has had uptimes of weeks without a reboot. And I run a lot of apps at once. Such has photoshop, dreamweavor, bryce 4, office 2000, 3 different browsers, and 2 differnt IM cleints. Lets see you push win98 that far with out a crash. Also notice everyone else on here has no problems running win2k, and you do. What does that say about you? It doesn't amtter how long you been using computer and operatiing systems, you can still make mistakes. You have a obviously not install win2k properly. You are a minority group of people who have problems with it. Thats ok, eiter get rid of it or figure out the problems. But bitching and moaning to everyone on how is sucks does not help the fact you don't have a good install. Either ask for help or shut up.
