Windows 98SE

[Ian Loughlin]

I read the thread on 98SE support but the conclusion is far from clear.

Will Beta work on 98SE or is it simply not supported by MS on 98SE ?

I installed Giant in November 2003 and it worked perfectly until they asked
me to pay for it. I couldn't upgrade to a full user due to the pending MS
buyout.

So - is it safe to download Beta onto my 98SE system and run without support
?

Yes yes I know I should upgrade to XP and I will do so when I change my PC.

Ian,

Good question. Minimum requirement doesn't always mean
that software won't run on a lower spec, just that
supplier can't be bothered to test/support.

Best way to find out is to try it. Let us all know if it
works!

Ian,
Sorry but MS antispyware just won't do it on a 98 box.
