I installed Windows 98 on my computer four years ago. Now I want to upgrade to Win98 SE. Can I install Win98 SE without formatting. Or just install over Win98 ??? How do you install Win98 SE over Win 98????

nhnguyen01,
Win98se is Win98 with the service packs installed. The only thing you would be missing is internet connection sharing.

Do you have the upgrade CD or full installation CD?

It's usually a really good idea to do a format and clean install when moving up to a newer OS. That way, you won't bring all the "baggage" that the old OS has collected over the years. You'll end up with a snappier, better performing system.
