If you upgrade with files in the recycling bin then they will be over written.\n\nTake them out of the trash and move them to the root (C:/ ) directory. Install XP over top of 98SE. But make sure you DON'T choose the option to format your C: Drive and they will still be there.\n\nOnly problem I see is if your old computer had 98 on it then it's prolly too old to run XP. Look for something a lil newer.

If you computer is running on Windows 95, its time to buy a new computer.  Save yourself the cost of Windows 98 and buy one with XP!

You should look for a Windows 98 SE (second edition) dics on eBay or elsewhere on line.\nInstall it and then do a Windows Update on-line.

Why would you want to go from 2000 to 98?? Of course it costs something. XP is around 80-85 dollars unless you want to obtain it illegally which since you dont know how to install an operating system might be a pain. You can't "upgrade" from 2000 to 98. If you went from 2000 to XP you cuold upgrade (with an upgrade disk) otherwise it will format the drive and install XP (the best way for a clean install)

Some software providers may still have them for sale.\nBut almosy everyone has been selling XP for years.\nWhat happened to yours?\nWhy can't you upgrade to XP?\nIf yours is damaged, you may be able to get a replacement from MS. If it's lost, make a backup copy next time.

Sure you upgrade to Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004.  Media Center Edition 2004 is an upgrade of the version of Windows XP Home introduced in July 2002

That's a hard question to answer. It depends on how old the computer is, and what kind of hardware it has. If it is a relatively new computer, then you can go out and buy a copy of windows xp. If it is an older computer or one without good hardware, then xp may not run on it. Your best option then is to put something like windows 98 on it if you can find it, or else Linux. If you know someone who is knowledgeable about computers, then ask them to burn a Linux ISO for you. Linux is free this way (except the cost of the disk). I have heard good things about Ubuntu Linux. You can get it here: http://www.ubuntu.com/

The above post is instruction on how to restore your registry and select system files only, this most likely will not give you the desired results (especially since, by default, it only creates a backup of the last 5 successful bootups) and can actually cause errors in some applications.  \n\nTo reset the PC use either the restore disks that came with the PC if you have them or reformat and reinstall Windows using a full install version of 98.  Windows 98SE also supports the upgrade to Windows XP.  If you're interested, check here to see if your computer meets the recommended (not minimum - it will be very slow) requirements.\n\nhttp://www.pcpitstop.com/xpready/default.asp

It's been a long time since I've used Windows 98, but these pages (in the Sources section) should be useful. \n\nGood luck!

you got a tough row to hoe trying to get 95 and xp to work together, it is hard enough with 98 and xp. if you look around you might find some sort of software that will hook them up, but tried once or twice and gave it up. I just ugrade the 95 to 98 and get it going

Windows ME is the worst OS i ever used.\nAnyway it cannot directly upgrade to XP. \nEnter the Xp Cd rom and restart the Pc.\nHit any key to boot from cd.\nFollow the steps.\nThere's a page you can delete the old OS.

If XP doesn't work I would try Win98. If you really want 95, look at ebay I am sure you can get a copy for $5 or so.\nhttp://cgi.ebay.com/1-DAY-ONLY-Full-Inst-Windows-95-Win-OS-operating-system_W0QQitemZ7233443216QQcategoryZ41883QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

No, not at all.  It is supposed to free up RAM that a program/application didn't release (back to the operating system).  However, these types of applications aren't needed with Windows 2000 or XP.  Now, if you still have any of the 3 versions of Windows 98, then it will work great, and you actually need it.
