Answer 1

Get UBUNTU (or XUBUNTU if your computer has less than 256MB of RAM).

It's a free, reliable and up to date operating system.

You can explore it from the "LIVE CD".

It's easy to install and use. You can dual boot it with other operating systems.

Once you have it installed, you gain access to thousands of free programs created by the open source community. There is excellent support - see the WIKI starter guide, and the Linux forums.

Always back up your data before making changes to your computer.

Answer 2

found windows 98 from where the free internet download windows 98 is so old now just like limewire is the two of them are out of date .. you Don't have the product code then the way to fix this is install windows 98 that you buy that will have the product code when you buy the windows 98 os . or you can buy windows xp or vista if you did download windows 98 from limewire you want to start over on your computer that is format and set up a windows os .

Answer 3

Well you need a CD key, otherwise you'll need to find a liscened copy of windows. Then format the hard disk to get rid of the semi-complete windows 98 installation and then start again from scratch.

Answer 4

Hmmmmm...you try to install software without the license code. That sounds like a user problem. Where did you "find" this Win98 CD? Go back to where you "found" it and get the product code.

Answer 5

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
