Reinstalled Win98~Great!!!

[moonncat]

I was having severe computer problems so I thought I would put the Windows 98 disk back in the HD and see what happened..... Well, I reinstalled it and it works fabulously!


I'm wondering if I need to delete the previous version that was giving me such a hard time or if the reinstall just overwrote everytying and I'm fine. Suggestions?

[reboot]

How did you reinstall?
When prompted for the install path, did you change it to c:\windows or leave it at the default c:\windows.000 ?

Very good question....I don't remember exactly ! (I'm really blond). I assume that I left it to what it was defaulting to (C drive)

[reboot]

It's install default is c:\windows.000

When you restarted, and got into windows, did it still have the same background as your old? Did/does it still have the same icons on the desktop? Did you get prompted for any drivers disks?

You can easily check to see if you have a double install.
Open Explorer, look down the tree on the left hand side (folder view), and see if you have a c:\windows and a c:\windows.000 folder.

If you don't. Then there's nothing further for you to do.
If you DO, then look at HAL9000's thread in Tips and Tricks, to fix the double install.
