Hi

I recently hgot a W98 2nd edition update CD from Microsoft. It didn't complete
the installation properly, and now I have a machine that seems unstable at
times, eg I have to de-install and re-install DUN every few days.

I have tried re-installing the original W98 but it sees the later version and
won't re-install. I have tried to re-install the update but it says it can't
find the first edition files required.

I really don't want to have to go back to the original 95 installation and start
again, any suggestions?

Rgds
Denis
