Win98 Reinstall w/o reformatting?

Hi all,

Strangely, this is not anyhting I've ever done before. What are some things to look out for in a plain Win98 reinstall? Will it keep any previously registered programs, etc? thanks,

~p

Just do it.
Only one concern, make sure you install it to c:\windows and NOT c:\windows.000
Everything will be exactly the same as you left it, once the final restart is done, hopefully minus the problem you had that's prompting you to reinstall it anyhow.
