The first thing you want to do is bag windows 98 and get XP right away. Then if you want to get a new graphics card, you have to know what type of slot it is (PCI-AGP-PCIE) Then you can figure out which graphics card you need to get. Also, make sure that your power supply is enough to run a good card, you gunna wanna need at least 350 watts. Now if you want to go with a new sound card, I would recommend any Creative brand card either Audigy X-Fi etc... I would also recommend on getting more RAM for the "old Dell" \n\nI hope this helps!

Very little is for 98, Microsoft doesn't even support it anymore.  You need a new operating system.  Probably need a new computer, too.  Windows Vista is comping out around January 06 and requires a good deal of computing power.  My advice is to decide what you want to use your computer for and go to Dell and get one readymade that will do the things you want - it's cheapest and most reliable.

WINME and up all have the drivers for USB flash drives/memory sticks.  WIN98 and below don't.  The manufacturers used to ship disks with the memory sticks with the 98 drivers on them but now they just say they don't support 98 so they don't send the disks anymore.  You can try the manufacturer's website and they MAY have the drivers for 98 but it's hit and miss.  Bottom line is you need to upgrade your OS to at least WINME.

Just buy an older version of an operating system such as Windows 2000.  Or if you don't want to pay anything, maybe you could consider a linux operating system such as Ubuntu or Lindows.

you can still run your game or infact any software. Jus follow these instructions:\n\n1. Install the software.\n2. In the "Program Files" folder find the executible file that starts the software.\n3. Right Clik on it and goto\nProperties>>Compatibility \nCheck on compatibility mode and choose your operating system.\n\nNow your software will work as if it was workin on Windows 98 or 95.

Thats false.  You can play the older games that exist on your new computer, as long as you have the correct emulator software (a program that "translates" the old code or programming language to a series of instructions that your new OS can understand and execute).  Lots of emulators are available on the net.

to the .exe file, go to it's property and there's a option that you can set it up for older versions of windows. If there isn't Dos, then put NT/98.

Open the properties of the application.Select compatibility tab,check the check box and select the option Windows 98/Me.

Since I live in Indian Territory, I think I have a good idea what the indians would want for Windows 98. \n\n                    $1.398\n\nThats U.S. money. They don't take payments in Cactus Juice and Fire Water anymore.

An old DOS game if my memory is correct. Google "PC DOS game download".\n\nYou can use a tool called "DOSBOX" to play them.

Windows 98\n\nlol\n\nSorry I couldn't resist.\n\nMy favorite MS os as with modifications it worked!\nSmall size lotsa opportunities/software...\n\nUnless its a hardware conflict(I doubt) its software/protocols.\n\n\nIf you are trying to run wmp10 you will lock up as 98 can't... similar some sites are set up where the 98 will not be able to access.  \n\nBut most sites and programs will be fine...\n\nEnjoy what you can and how you saved a large fortune...\n\n98 was/is popular but I assume you have past use...\nand know its drawbacks...\n\nUse a 98 compliant media player and doublecheck that \n(and your software- obviously(maybe?) any attempt to use NTFS files or programs will be a nonstarter... \n\nI hope this helps,\nand yes I still utilize a 'fixed' 98 machine...\nless expensive AND great for everything... except\nlatest gamews and some websites. \n\nAlso way more secure!\n\nHappy 98'ing... hope this helped\n\n(plus visit grisoft(shields up!), avg(anti-virus), zone alarms(firewall), spybot search and Destroy(careful), ADAWARE too are all good software for FREE!- AND especially good for 98)

Will probably even run Win98, But if Win95 is around, do it, Windows no longer has support for those operating systems

Others have suggested compatibility mode.  Clearly they have never actually tried to get older software to run under XP.  Or they have and it worked, however, in my case, it has not.  Every single piece of software I have from the Windows 95/98 days WILL NOT run under XP, even under compatibility mode.  All compatibility mode does is try to fool the program by reporting XP as Windows 95 or 98, the reason this doesn't work so well is that some of the older programs are looking for DOS components which are not present in WIndows XP.  Sorry to say that most likely your older software will not run under Windows XP.  Either buy a newer version of the same program, find a freeware substitute or... just cut your losses and move on (in the case of games that's what you'll have to do).\n\nThe other option is to partition your hard drive (or get a second hard drive) and install Windows 98 itself and boot into it only when you need to use whatever program will not run under XP.\n\nAnd to Na, you will have to install the Windows XP drivers for your sound card, no doubt they exist.  Sometimes you'll get lucky and Windows update will pick up the driver for you or find your driver restore disc, sometimes Windows XP can make use of a Windows 98/ME driver.
