I downloaded ubuntu and installed it over Windows 98, well I want Windows 98 back so I grabbed my Windows 98 upgrade and put it in my CD-ROM Drive and when I click on setup.exe
it says something about not having an application to run an .exe file. SO PLEASE HELP ME GET WINDOWS BACK!

If you have a Windows 98 Upgrade CD you need to install a copy of an earlier version of Windows, and then run the upgrade from that.
If you have a regular Windows 98 install CD, then you need to boot from it, not launch the setup application from inside Linux.

The others are right - if you only have the upgrade CD, you'll need to get a Windows 95 CD. Sign up for your local Freecycle ( http://freecycle.org/ ) and ask for it through there.
If there are problems with Ubuntu (I use it too) put your questions in the Ubuntu forums ( http://ubuntuforums.org/ ) - there are a lot of people in there more than willing to help!
Example: I didn't like the orange when I first got Ubuntu, so I changed the theme - System > Preferences > Themes.
Try the "IndustrialTango".
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me either through Yahoo Answers (click on my name) or just e-mail me at amandakerik at yahoo dot com
