Re: Trouble in Windoze 98 land?

["Matt" <Eagle@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried upgrading my Win95 machine to 98, and it blew out a bunch of
drivers, and made my system quite unstable.  For instance, every time I
would connect to the internet using the 98 dialup utility, Win98 would reset
all of my mouse settings including speed,  and double click speed.  Weird I
know, but what else do you expect :)

Anyways, I formatted my Fat partition that had 98 installed on it and
installed it from scratch, and I havn't had a single problem with it since.
Mabye I'm just lucky.
