Here are the problems:
1. I tried saving the info on a flash drive that said it's windows 98 compatible but the computer would not recognize flash drive
2. Burning the data onto a cd is not working using easy cd creator
3. The computer does not have winzip and there are way too many files to email without winzip
Any ideas out there help please!!!

Get a USB drive enclosure
remove your drive from the old system and place in enclosure
plug USB drive into new computer........pull what ever you want off of the old system
Once you get the enclosure, it should take only a few minutes to have the drive in the enclosure and usable

For windows 98, the flash drive normally needs a driver, which would be on a cd which came with the drive, or download it from the brand's web site.
You can use a trial version of winzip or download other free utilities such as 7-zip from http://www.7-zip.org/

One way is to make the transfer through the DSL ports. There is a router that can connect PCs directly to on another through DSL ports. Through this you can transfer data from one computer to another. Another way is to take the 98s master hard drive out of its computer and transfer it over to the new computer as a slave drive.
After you have done this move all of the software from the slave drive to the new PCs hard drive reformat the slave drive and either disconnect it or continue to use it as some extra memory.

Suggest you buy an IDE to USB device for about GBP30 or so. Maplin is a good site to start with.
Provided your older HDD is still OK then it will run (With jumper leads set to Master) as an external drive after which you simply copy across what you want to your new PC.
Couldn't be simpler!!

Go into Start>All Programs>accessories>System tools and see if you have a file and settings transfer program.
the other way is to slave the hard drive into the other computer and get the files that way
