----------------------------------------------------------


This file contains information about problems that may occur while
you are running Windows 98 Setup.

NOTE: We recommend that you check your hard disk for viruses 
before setting up Windows 98, and then turn off any screen 
savers you have running. Also make sure you disable any antivirus 
software that is running before you start Setup.


GENERAL SETUP NOTES
===================

 - MAKE A NEW STARTUP DISK! Because of changes in the real-mode
   and protect-mode kernels to support FAT32, Windows 98 startup 
   disks are not compatible with earlier versions of Windows. 
   Therefore, when you set up Windows 98 for the first time, be 
   sure to make a new startup disk, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT PLANNING 
   TO USE FAT32.

 - If you have the Number Nine Imagine 128 Display Adapter, either 
   run Setup from MS-DOS or change your display driver to VGA.


FINDING AND FIXING HARD DISK PROBLEMS DURING SETUP (USING SCANDISK)
===================================================================

Windows 98 Setup automatically runs ScanDisk to check for problems
on your hard disk. If there are problems, Setup cannot continue
until they are fixed.

NOTE: The MS-DOS-based version of ScanDisk that Setup runs may 
detect long file name errors, but it cannot correct them. These 
errors do not prevent Setup from proceeding, but once it completes, 
you should run the new Windows version of ScanDisk from within 
Windows 98 to correct these errors.


Fixing Hard Disk Problems
-------------------------

If, during Setup, you see a message telling you that you must run 
ScanDisk to fix problems on your hard disk, follow these steps to 
fix the problems.

If you are setting up Windows 98 over MS-DOS or a previous version of
Windows, such as Windows 3.1:

1. Quit Windows.

2. If you are setting up from floppy disks, insert Setup Disk 1 into 
   the floppy drive, and then type the following at the command prompt:

	a:scandisk.exe /all

   where "a" is the drive that contains the Windows disk.

   If you are setting up from a CD-ROM, insert the CD-ROM into the 
   CD-ROM drive and then type the following:

        d:\win98\scandisk.exe /all

   where "d" is the drive that contains the CD-ROM.

4. Follow the instructions on your screen and fix any problems that
   ScanDisk finds.

5. Start Windows, and then run Setup again.

If you are setting up Windows 98 over a previous version of Windows 
98:

1. Quit Setup.

2. On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point 
   to System Tools, and then click ScanDisk.

3. Check your hard disk(s) and any host drives you have for errors,
   and repair any problems found.

NOTE: If you are running Setup from MS-DOS, ScanDisk will run and 
you'll be able to fix most problems from within Setup.


Problems Running ScanDisk
-------------------------

If you get a message during Setup that there is not enough 
memory to run ScanDisk, free some conventional and/or upper memory, 
and then run Setup again. If you have MS-DOS 6.x, try running 
MEMMAKER to free memory.

If you still don't have enough memory, or if you have other problems 
while Setup is running ScanDisk, you can bypass ScanDisk in 
Setup by running Setup with the /IS option. To do this, type the 
following command:

	setup /is

NOTE: Bypassing ScanDisk during Setup is not recommended. If 
you do, there may be problems with your hard disk that could 
cause Windows 98 not to install or run correctly.

If you still have problems after running Setup with the /IS option, 
try running Setup with the /IQ option. To do this, type the following 
command:

        setup /is /iq


REMOVING WINDOWS 98
===================

During Setup, click Yes, if you want to be able to remove 
Windows 98 later. Setup will save your system files in a 
hidden, compressed file. If you don't need to be able to 
remove Windows 98 later, click No.

You will not see this Setup option if:

    - You are upgrading over a system that uses disk compression.

    - You are upgrading over an earlier version of Windows 98.

    - You are installing to a new folder.

    - You are running a version of MS-DOS earlier than 5.0.

NOTE: The files necessary to remove Windows 98 must be saved 
on a local hard drive. You cannot save them to a network drive 
or a floppy disk. If you have multiple local drives, you can 
select the one you want to save them on.

NOTE: If you see a message during Setup about not being able 
to save your system files, see the "Setup Error Messages" 
section later in this document.

>>>To remove Windows 98 and completely restore your system to its 
   previous versions of MS-DOS and Windows 3.x, or Windows 95:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control 
   Panel.

2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.

3. On the Install/Uninstall tab, click Uninstall Windows 98, and 
   then click Add/Remove.

Or, if you are having problems starting Windows 98, use your startup
disk to start your computer, and then run UNINSTAL from the startup
disk.

NOTE: UNINSTAL needs to shut down Windows 98. If there is a 
problem with this on your computer, restart your computer 
and press F8 when you see the message "Starting Windows 98." 
Then click Command Prompt Only and run UNINSTAL from the 
command prompt.

If Setup did not complete successfully and you want to restore your 
previous versions of MS-DOS and Windows 3.x, or Windows 95, you can 
run UNINSTAL from the \Windows\Command folder on your hard disk, or 
from your startup disk.

If you saved your files on a drive other than C, you can use the /w 
option to specify the drive where the files are located. For example:

        uninstal /w e:

where e: is the drive containing your previous system files.

If Windows 98 is running and you want to remove the uninstall files 
to free up disk space (6 to 9MB), follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control 
   Panel.

2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.

3. On the Install/Uninstall tab, click Old Windows 3.x/MS-DOS System 
   Files, and then click Remove. Or click Remove Windows 95 system 
   files (Uninstall Info).

You are no longer able to remove Windows 98.


IF YOU HAVE A COMPRESSED DRIVE
==============================

If you have used compression software to compress your hard disk, 
you may get a message that there is not enough space on the host 
partition of the compressed drive. Setup may have to copy some files 
to your startup drive, the host for your startup drive, or the host 
for your Windows drive. If you get this message, free up some space 
on the specified drive, and then run Setup again. Try one of the 
following:

- Set up Windows on an uncompressed drive if possible.

- Delete any unneeded files on your host partition.

- If you are running Windows 3.1 and have a permanent swap file, try
  making it smaller. In Control Panel, double-click 386 Enhanced, and 
  then click Virtual Memory. Modify the size of your swap file.

- Use your disk compression software to free up some space on the host
  drive for the compressed drive. If you compressed your drive by 
  using DriveSpace or DoubleSpace, follow these steps:

  1. Quit Windows.
  2. Run Drvspace.exe or Dblspace.exe.
  3. Select the compressed drive on whose host you want to 
     free space.
  4. On the Drive menu, click Change Size.

  If you used other compression software, such as Stacker, 
  consult the documentation that came with it.

NOTE: You may notice a discrepancy in the amount of free space 
reported by Setup and the amount of space you think is 
available on your host drive. Windows uses some space for 
creating a swap file. This space may not appear to be 
allocated when Windows is not running. 

NOTE: If you create a startup disk during Setup, make sure you 
do not use a compressed disk for the startup disk.


If You Have SuperStor Compression
---------------------------------

If you have compressed your hard disk by using SuperStor, Setup 
may not be able to find your startup drive and install Windows 98. 
If you get a message about this problem during Setup, uncompress 
your disk and remove SuperStor, then run Setup again.


If You Have XtraDrive Compression
---------------------------------

If you have compressed your hard disk by using XtraDrive and you are
upgrading a previous version of Windows, Setup will not be able to
install Windows 98 unless you turn off XtraDrive's write-cache. To
turn this off, carry out the following procedure:

1. Quit Windows.

2. Run Vmu.exe (XtraDrive's Volume Maintenance Utility).

3. Click Advanced Options, and then press ENTER.

4. Set the EMS cache size to 0.

5. Set the Conventional cache size to 1 (the minimum).

6. Set Allow Write Caching to NO.

7. At the confirmation prompt, click Yes. A message appears stating 
   that you must restart your computer for the changes to take 
   effect.

8. Quit Volume Maintenance Utility, and then restart your computer.

9. Start Windows, and then run Setup again.


INSTALLING WINDOWS 98 OVER WINDOWS NT 
=====================================

If you are multi-booting MS-DOS and Windows NT, boot to MS-DOS, and 
then run Setup from either MS-DOS or Windows 95. You cannot install 
Windows 98 to a folder with a shared Windows 95/Windows NT 
configuration; you need to install Windows 98 to a different
folder.

If you are not multi-booting MS-DOS and Windows NT, you should
configure your computer to multi-boot MS-DOS and Windows NT first, 
and then follow the instructions above.

If you boot MS-DOS from a floppy disk and then run Setup, you will no
longer be able to boot Windows NT; however, you can restore Windows NT
by booting from the Windows NT boot/repair disk, and then selecting 
the Repair option.


INSTALLING WINDOWS 98 OVER OS/2
===============================

Setup will not run on OS/2. You need to start MS-DOS and run Setup 
from the MS-DOS prompt.

NOTE: If you are upgrading over OS/2 on an HPFS partition, you 
must have your OS/2 disk 1 available during Setup.

If you are using OS/2 Boot Manager to choose operating systems at
startup, Setup disables Boot Manager to ensure that Windows 98 can
restart the computer and complete its installation. Boot Manager can 
be reactivated by running the Fdisk utility that comes with Windows 
98 (see the procedure at the end of this section).

If you are not using Boot Manager, configure your computer to use 
Boot Manager, and then follow the instructions above.

If you start MS-DOS from a floppy disk and then run Setup, you 
cannot start OS/2 after Windows 98 has been installed. You
must delete the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files that OS/2
uses before running Windows 98 Setup.

If you want to remove OS/2 from your computer after you have installed
Windows 98, carry out the following procedure:

1. Back up the data files you want to keep onto a floppy disk or 
   network drive.

2. Delete the OS/2 folders.

3. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, click View, click Options, and 
   click Show All Files. Then delete the following OS/2 files:

	Ea data.sf
	OS2ldr.msg
	OS2krnl
	OS2boot
	Wp data.sf

   NOTE: If you have a version of OS/2 other than version 2.0, the 
   names of the OS/2 files on your hard disk may differ from 
   those listed above. Also, depending on which version of 
   OS/2 you have, you may see the following files in your root 
   folder. You can delete them.

	OS2dump
	OS2ldr
	OS2logo
	OS2ver

4. Empty the Recycle Bin to permanently remove the files 
   from your computer.

If Boot Manager is installed and you want to remove it, restart your 
computer, and then carry out the following procedure. (We recommend
that you print this file before restarting your computer.)

1. When you see the Boot Manager menu, boot to MS-DOS, and 
   then run FDisk.

2. Choose to make the MS-DOS partition (C) your active partition.

3. Quit FDisk, and then restart your computer.

If you want to reinstate Boot Manager after you install Windows 98, 
carry out the following procedure:

1. On the Start menu, click Run, and then type FDISK.

2. Choose Option 2, Set Active Partition.

3. Enter the number of the Boot Manager Partition. This partition 
   is the 1 MB non-MS-DOS partition usually placed at the top 
   or bottom.

4. Quit FDisk, and then restart your computer.

You can now start OS/2 at any time and change labels of partitions
in Boot Manager through the OS/2 FDisk program.


SETUP ERROR MESSAGES
====================

This section lists specific messages that you may encounter during 
Setup and provides information about what to do next.


Not Enough Memory Messages
--------------------------

If you encounter an Out of Memory error message, you can increase 
conventional memory by commenting out TSRs and loading device drivers 
into the upper memory area.  For information on how to perform these 
steps, see Microsoft Knowledgebase Article Q134399, "How to Increase 
Conventional Memory for MS-DOS-Based Programs" at 
http://www.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q134/3/99.asp


Not Enough Disk Space Messages
------------------------------

You can recover disk space by completing any or all of the following 
steps:

* Right-click Recycle Bin, and then click Empty Recycle Bin.

* Delete the contents of your Internet browser cache folder.

* Delete files with the extensions .bak and .tmp.

* Delete unused program folders (be sure to back up data first).

* Delete the old MS-DOS folder, unless you intend to configure 
  your computer to run both Windows 98 and MS-DOS. (Be sure you have 
  a startup disk that supports access to the CD-ROM first.)

* Delete the hidden file Winundo.dat from the previous installation 
  of Windows 95.

* Delete the old Windows 3.1 folder, unless you intend to configure 
  your computer to run both Windows 3.1 and Windows 98.


Setup Cannot Write to the Temporary Folder
------------------------------------------

This message may appear because there is insufficient disk space 
for the temporary folder. If space is available on another drive, 
use the following command line to change the temporary folder 
location:

	Setup /T:<drive letter>:\TEMP

If you do not have space available on another drive, free some disk 
space and run Setup again. See the Not Enough Disk Space Messages 
section in this document for files that can be deleted.


CAB File Error Messages
-----------------------

CAB file errors are most frequently caused by one or more of the 
following: 

- a virus
- low conventional memory
- bad media
- hardware problems (especially problems with CD-ROM drives) 

Quit Setup, shut down your computer, insert the startup disk in 
the floppy drive and restart the computer. This action creates a 
controlled environment from which to run Setup. Then run Setup 
from the MS-DOS command prompt.

If you have Multimedia Cloaking and are installing Windows 98 from 
floppy disks, Setup may not run successfully. In this case, if you 
see messages about Setup not being able to read .cab files, follow 
these steps:

1.  Remove the line referencing Cacheclk.exe from your Config.sys 
    and Autoexec.bat files.

2.  Restart your computer.

3.  Run Setup again.


Message SU0010, SU0012, SU0015, or SU0016
-----------------------------------------

If you receive one of these messages during Setup, see the 
sections "Installing Windows 98 over Windows NT" and "Installing
Windows 98 over OS/2".


Message SU0011
--------------

If your hard disk is password-protected, Setup will not complete 
successfully. You must first remove the password protection. 
For more information, see the documentation that came with your 
computer.


Message SU0013
--------------

To set up Windows 98, your startup drive must be an MS-DOS boot 
partition. If your startup drive is formatted as HPFS or NTFS, 
you must create an MS-DOS boot partition before running Setup. 
For more information, on creating an MS-DOS boot partition, 
see the documentation that came with your computer.

If you have LANtastic networking or SuperStor compression, see 
those sections earlier in this document for more information.


Standard Mode messages
----------------------

If you get any of the following error messages, remove any 
memory managers (such as EMM386.exe, QEMM, or 386Max) from 
your Config.sys file, restart your computer, and then run 
Setup again.

	Standard Mode: Invalid DPMI return.
	Standard Mode: Fault in MS-DOS Extender.
	Standard Mode: Bad Fault in MS-DOS Extender.
	Standard Mode: Unknown stack in fault dispatcher.
	Standard Mode: Stack Overflow.

NOTE: If you still have problems, add EMM386.EXE back into 
your Config.sys file and exclude all ranges. For example,

	device=c:\windows\emm386.exe x=A000-FFFF

If you encounter these messages or if your computer stops 
responding during Setup, turn on double-buffering in SmartDrive. 
Several SCSI hard drives and some ESDI drives require 
double-buffering.

To turn on double buffering, add the following line to the beginning
of your Config.sys file:

	device=c:\windows\smartdrv.exe /double_buffer+


Setup could not back up your system files
-----------------------------------------

If you see this error message while Setup is saving your system 
files, you might not have enough disk space, particularly on 
compressed disks. Free up space on the drive you are saving your 
system files on (the default drive is C) by removing unneeded files.


Cannot continue on this system configuration
--------------------------------------------

If you see this message, you may have an older, incompatible disk 
partition. Before you run Setup, you need to back up your data 
and then repartition your disk.


Some settings have changed since you last started Windows
---------------------------------------------------------

If you see this error message while you are attempting 
to upgrade from Windows 95, there might be another 
application loaded that is using a file required by Windows 98 
Setup. 

There are several programs that are known to cause this error:

*  Diamond's "In Control Tools"
*  Ensonics AudioPCI sound card drivers
*  Aztech sound card drivers
*  Some Windows Printing System utilities (Canon BJ series)

There are currently two workarounds for this issue:

1.  If you are running one of the above-listed applications, you 
    must ensure that it is disabled before you run Setup.

    *  Diamond's "In Control Tools" - See your Diamond documentation.

    *  Ensonic AudioPCI - Click Start, point to Settings, click 
       Control Panel, double-click System, click Device Manager, 
       click Sound video and game controllers, and then click the 
       Properties tab for the sound card. Select the box to disable 
       this device. Setup should now continue. You can re-enable the 
       sound card after Setup completes.

    *  Windows Printing System - Click Start, click Run, type 
       Sysedit, and press ENTER. Open the Win.ini file and find the 
       [Windows] heading. Place semi-colons (;) in front of the 
       Load= and Run= lines. Save the file. Now open the System.ini 
       file and find the [386enh] section. Place a semicolon in front 
       of each Device= line that contains WPS*.*. Save the file and 
       restart your computer. Setup should now run. You can remove 
       these changes after Setup completes.

2.  If the above procedure fails or you cannot find the application 
    that is causing the error, run Windows 98 Setup from MS-DOS mode 
    or a Command prompt-only mode. Make sure your real-mode CD-ROM 
    drivers are loaded if you're installing from CD-ROM.


Message SU0167
--------------

A file or folder called Desktop exists on your computer. Rename or 
move your current Desktop folder, and then run Setup again.


Message SU0410
--------------

Setup cannot open a required file, possibly because the file is 
missing or damaged, or because your computer does not have 
enough memory. 

Quit Setup, shut down your computer, insert the startup disk into 
the floppy drive and restart the computer. Then run Setup from the MS-DOS command prompt.


Cannot Copy File messages
-------------------------

Try skipping the file; it may not be essential. If skipping the file 
doesn't work (for example, Setup does not complete successfully, or 
Windows 98 does not run), quit Setup, shut down your computer, insert 
the startup disk into the floppy drive and restart the computer. Then 
run Setup from the MS-DOS command prompt.


SU99xxxx messages
-----------------

SU99 is a prefix that is added to all errors that Setup does not 
have a specific error message for. These errors are often caused by 
low conventional memory. Quit Setup, shut down your computer, insert 
the startup disk in the floppy drive and restart the computer. Then 
run Setup from the MS-DOS command prompt. For details about specific 
SU99xxxx messages, search the Microsoft Knowledge Base at 
http://www.microsoft.com.



EDITING THE CONFIG.SYS AND AUTOEXEC.BAT FILES
=============================================

This section explains how to make changes to your computer's 
Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files. These files tell your computer 
what programs and devices to load on startup (for example, a virus-
scanner program the Autoexec.bat file may direct your computer to 
automatically load). Windows 98 Setup does not run correctly with 
some programs and devices. To remove or disable such a program or 
device, you may need to edit the Config.sys and/or Autoexec.bat files.

To edit the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files:

1.  In Windows 3.1 or 3.11, click File, click Run, type Sysedit and 
    press ENTER. In Windows 95, click Start, click Run, type Sysedit 
    and press ENTER.

2.  In the Config.sys or Autoexec.bat dialog box(es), type REM at the 
    beginning of any line(s) that you want to disable.

3.  Save changes and restart your computer.


HARDWARE NOTES
==============

This section includes notes on specific system configurations that 
may prevent Setup from installing Windows 98 successfully.


Sager NP8200 Or Wedge Technologies 466/DX2
------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT: If you install Windows 98 on a Sager NP8200 or 
Wedge Technologies 466/DX2 laptop computer, you will not be 
able to use your computer, even if you reinstall a previous 
version of Windows.


Plug and Play Network Cards And 16-Bit Real-Mode Drivers
--------------------------------------------------------

When you need to run the 16-bit real-mode driver for your network 
interface card (NIC) (which is common if you use DLC or another 
real-mode protocol), your Plug and Play card may appear not to 
function because the 16-bit NIC drivers load before Windows 98 has 
a chance to turn on Plug and Play cards. In addition, some 16-bit 
NIC drivers do not recognize Plug and Play cards (most NE2000 Plug 
and Play clones fall into this category).

>>>To use your Plug and Play card with a 16-bit NIC driver:

1. Run the Softset utility that comes with your Plug and Play card,
   and then set the card to non-Plug and Play mode.

2. Double-click Network in Control Panel, and then remove the 
   network card.

3. In Control Panel, double-click Add New Hardware and follow the 
   instructions on your screen. Windows 98 detects your network 
   card.

If you change to a 32-bit protected-mode NIC driver in the future, 
you can run Softset again to turn on Plug and Play mode for your card.


Diamond Video In-Control Utilities
----------------------------------

Remove these utilities before restarting Windows 98 Setup.


Intel EtherExpress 16 NICs And PCI Computers
--------------------------------------------

Your system may not respond or you may experience initialization 
problems if you are using an Intel EtherExpress 16 NIC in a PCI 
computer with certain Diamond SpeedStar PCI video cards. The 
following are excerpts from Intel's Customer Support Database. 
These problems are not related to Windows 98; they occur on a 
variety of operating system platforms. If you experience other 
problems with your EtherExpress 16 in a PCI computer, replace 
the card before you report the problem to Microsoft.

If you have one of these video cards, contact your vendor about 
getting a new video BIOS update.

- Diamond SpeedStar PCI video card with BIOS version 1.01
- Diamond Viper PCI VGA Video Adapter
- Diamond Stealth video card, Bios v1.03


IBM Thinkpad Model 750x/755x/360x
---------------------------------

If you have one of these models (including sub-models such as C, 
CE, CX, CS, and CSE), before you install Windows 98 check IBM's bulletin 
board or the THINKPAD forum on CompuServe for updated BIOS and/or 
Mwave drivers for your computer.

If you don't upgrade your BIOS, you may have problems if you move 
the mouse while your computer is turning Suspend mode on or off.


View Software
-------------

Some utilities for Windows 3.1, such as Long File Names, need to be 
upgraded or used differently with Windows 98. To obtain a version of 
View Software that works with Windows 98, contact View Software for more information.


MEMORY MANAGERS
===============

If you have QEMM installed on your computer, we recommend that you 
remove it from your Config.sys file before you set up Windows 98. 
You can add it back after Windows 98 is installed.

The following memory managers are incompatible with or may cause
problems with Windows 98. We recommend that you remove all
references to them from your Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files and 
use Emm386.exe and Himem.sys, provided with Windows 98, to manage 
memory instead.

        Allemm4.sys - All Charge 386 Version 3.1
        HPemm386.sys and HPemm486.sys
        HPmm.sys - HP Memory Manager (must remove before Setup)
        Iemm.sys Memory Manager
        Intel(R) Expanded-Memory Emulator (Ilim386.sys)
        Maximizer Memory Manager (Maximize.com)
        NetRoom Memory Manager (RM386.sys)
	QMAPS Memory Manager Version 5.16
	UMB PRO Version 1.07

NOTE: The documentation for 386MAX recommends against setting 
the EXT parameter below 64. If you set this parameter to 0, 
Setup fails.

NOTE: If you remove the line containing Rm386.sys from your 
Config.sys file, you may need to install Himem.sys, which 
comes with Windows or MS-DOS. You can do this by adding the 
following line to your Config.sys file:

        device=<path>\himem.sys                                       

The <path> is the location of your Windows or MS-DOS files (for 
example, C:\Windows).


DISK-CACHE PROGRAMS
===================

Before you run Setup, we recommend that you remove any third-
party disk-cache programs and replace them with Smartdrv.exe, which 
is provided with Windows 98.

While you are running Windows 98, you do not need to use a 
disk-cache utility. Setup removes most disk-cache programs 
for you.

If you are running one of the following disk-cache utilities, 
remove it. In some cases, Setup removes it for you.

  386MAX Disk-Cache utility (Qcache.exe) (Do not use with SmartDrive.)
  Cache.exe Disk-Cache utility
  Cache.sys Disk-Cache utility
  Flash Disk-Cache utility (Flash.exe) (do not use with SmartDrive.)
  Hyperdisk Disk-Cache utility (do not use with SmartDrive.)
  Icache.sys Disk-Cache utility 
  IBMcache.sys Disk-Cache utility 
  Mace Disk-Cache Utility (Mcache.sys)
  Norton Speed Drive Disk utility (SPEEDRV)

ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE
===================

Some anti-virus programs can cause problems when you run Setup. Make
sure that no anti-virus program is running while you are setting up
Windows 98. If the program is a terminate-and-stay-resident program,
remove any references to it in your Autoexec.bat, Config.sys, and 
Win.ini files.

If your BIOS has built-in virus protection, disable it 
before running Setup. To disable it, you must use the CMOS setup 
program for your BIOS. For more information, see the documentation 
that came with your computer.

See the notes for specific anti-virus programs below.


Central Point Anti-Virus Version 1.1 (Vsafe.com/Vsafe.sys)
----------------------------------------------------------

To remove VSAFE, remove any lines containing Vsafe.com or Vsafe.sys
from your Autoexec.bat file. Also remove any references to Vsafe.com
or Vsafe.sys from the RUN= line in your Win.ini file.

If you are upgrading to Windows 98, you must also delete all the
Chklist.ms files that VSAFE has created before you run Setup. Because
Windows uses the disk for memory swapping, turn off the Vsafe 
write-protection option when you run Windows 98.

If you don't remove VSAFE before you set up Windows, warnings 
appear about Command.com, Win.com, and Krnl.386 when Windows starts.
If you see these warnings, ignore them and click the update option.
For more information, see the Central Point Anti-Virus documentation.


SETTING UP A DUAL-BOOT CONFIGURATION
====================================

To set up a dual-boot configuration on an x86 computer, install the 
operating system in the usual way, and then edit the Boot.ini file 
as described below. All system startup info is stored in the Boot.ini 
file, which is automatically created during Setup at the root of your 
computer's hard disk.

>>>To edit the Boot.ini file:

1.  In Windows Explorer, click View, click Options, and then 
    click "Show all files."

2.  Make sure "Hide file extensions for known file types" is not 
    checked, and then click OK.

3.  Right-click the Boot.ini file, and then click Properties.

4.  Click to clear the Read-only check box, and then click OK.

5.  Right-click the Boot.ini file, click Copy, right-click a blank 
    area of the Explorer dialog box, and then click Paste. A 
    backup copy with the file name "Copy of Boot.ini" is created.

6.  Double-click the Boot.ini file.

7.  Add the name and location of the alternate system in the 
    [operating systems] section of the file, as in the following 
    example:

	[operating systems]
	C:\Winnt="Windows NT 4.0"
	C:\="Microsoft Windows"

8.  Save and close the Boot.ini file.

9.  Right-click the Boot.ini file, and then click Properties.

10. Select the Read-only check box, and then click OK.


CREATING AN MS-DOS STARTUP PARTITION
====================================

To set up Windows 98, your startup drive must be an MS-DOS 
startup partition. If your startup drive is formatted as HPFS 
or NTFS, you must create an MS-DOS startup partition before you 
run Setup. For more information about creating an MS-DOS startup 
partition, see the documentation that came with your computer.


USING TERMINATE-AND-STAY-RESIDENT (TSR) PROGRAMS AND DRIVERS
============================================================


APPEND (MS-DOS)
---------------

Do not use the APPEND utility with Windows 98. It prevents 
Windows and Windows-based programs from creating valid 
Well-Formed-Path (WFP) names for the files they are using. (A WFP 
is the complete name of a file, including the drive letter and full 
path specification, starting from the root folder.)


Autocon Version 2.0e, Bootcon Version 1.60, and Boot.sys
--------------------------------------------------------

These programs enable you to select from different configurations 
when you start your computer. Because Windows 98 Setup modifies 
only the first sections in your Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files, 
you may have to modify these files manually after Setup if you want 
to use these programs. For more information, see the documentation 
that came with your program.


Cubit Version 3.01
------------------

When you are using Cubit with Windows 98, do not compress the Windows
System folder or any file that is loaded from your Config.sys file.

Before you upgrade to Windows 98, make sure that the earlier version 
of Windows is decompressed on your hard disk. You may recompress the 
files after you have successfully set up Windows 98.


Doubledisk Version 2.5
----------------------

Windows 98 may try to access "phantom" disk drives if you use it with
Doubledisk. Phantom drives occur when you use Doubledisk to create a
compressed drive. For example, if you have drives A, B, and C on your
computer and you use Doubledisk to create drive F, Windows 98 and
MS-DOS recognize drives D and E as valid drives, even though they do
not actually exist. You can use the DRVOFF utility to prevent Windows
from recognizing phantom drives. To order a copy of
the DRVOFF utility, contact Vertisoft.


Infinite Disk Version 2.1
-------------------------

Infinite Disk version 2.1 does not work properly with Windows 98.
Either remove Infinite Disk software from your computer before you 
run Setup, or contact your software dealer for a version of Infinite 
Disk software that is compatible with Windows 98.

>>>To remove Infinite Disk from your computer:

1. Decompress any compressed files.

2. Remove the following lines from your Config.sys and Autoexec.bat 
   files:

	iddrv.sys
	idres.exe
	protect /c

3. Restart your computer, and then run Setup again.
 

NetWare(R) NetBIOS
------------------

The NetWare NetBIOS TSR is incompatible with Windows 98 in many 
configurations. In most cases, Setup detects NetWare NetBIOS 
and removes the startup command from your computer. However, if you 
have NetWare NetBIOS set up to start from a location other than your 
Autoexec.bat file (for example, from a different batch file), Setup 
cannot detect it. In this case, you need to remove NetWare NetBIOS 
manually. Windows 98 includes an IPX/SPX-compatible protocol that you 
can use instead of NetBIOS. For information about configuring 
Windows 98 to work with it, see Network.txt.


Newspace Version 1.07
---------------------

This disk-compression utility is incompatible with Windows 98.


Norton Desktop for Windows (Ep.exe)
-----------------------------------

If the data-recovery program Erase Protect (Ep.exe) is loaded 
from your Autoexec.bat file, disable it when you set up Windows, 
especially if you are upgrading over a previous version of Windows. 
Because Erase Protect tries to save copies of all deleted files, 
you can run out of disk space while running Setup.

We recommend that you run Erase Protect with a permanent swap 
file. If you are using a temporary swap file, exclude files that 
have a .tmp or .swp extension from erase protection.


Norton Disklock Versions 3.01 and 3.5
-------------------------------------

Norton Disklock versions 3.01 and 3.5 do not work correctly with
Windows 98. Either remove this software from your computer before 
you run Setup, or contact Symantec product support for a version of 
Disklock that is compatible with Windows 98.

For information about how to remove Disklock from your computer, 
see the documentation that came with Norton Disklock.


PC Tools Deluxe(TM) Version 7.1 (DATAMON)
-----------------------------------------

If you load PC Tools DATAMON using the \SENTRY+ option, Setup may 
fail if you are low on disk space. Do not use the \SENTRY+ option 
when you are loading DATAMON.

Do not load DATAMON after loading SmartDrive. If DATAMON is 
loaded after SmartDrive, your computer may fail. See the PC Tools 
documentation for information about how to remove DATAMON.


PC Tools Deluxe Version 6.0 (DESKTOP)
-------------------------------------

If you try to start PC Tools from a command prompt within Windows,
your computer may fail or restart itself. These problems also occur 
if you use MS-DOS commands from a command prompt within Windows.

Version 7.0 of PC Tools may correct these problems. However, do not 
load DESKTOP from a command prompt if it was loaded before you 
started Windows. If you do, your computer may fail when you quit 
Windows. We recommend that you run DESKTOP from its PIF file, provided 
with Windows 98.


SUBST (MS-DOS)
--------------

You may encounter problems with SUBST during Setup, but you can 
safely add it back after you have installed Windows 98.


UNDELETE
--------

If you are running UNDELETE with the SENTRY option, Setup may 
have problems and you may run out of disk space during Setup. 
We recommend that you remove UNDELETE from your Config.sys and 
Autoexec.bat files before running Setup.

NOTE: The SENTRY option creates a hidden folder named Sentry. 
When you delete a file, UNDELETE moves the file from its current 
location to the Sentry folder. Before you remove UNDELETE from your 
Config.sys or Autoexec.bat file, free up disk space by using the 
UNDELETE /PURGE command on all drives. 

If you do not remove Undelete, Setup disables this command for you.


KNOWN POTENTIAL SETUP PROBLEMS
==============================

- If you encounter problems during Setup, such as Setup closing 
  unexpectedly or error messages that do not apply, increase the 
  size of your permanent swap file. For Setup to complete 
  successfully, the size of your permanent swap file plus the amount 
  of RAM in your computer should equal at least 14 MB. After you 
  change your swap file size, run Setup again.

  NOTE: If your hard disk is compressed, you may have to increase 
  the size of your host drive before you can increase the size 
  of your swap file.


Upgrading with Mango Medley
----------------------------

You cannot use a Mango Medley drive during Windows 98 setup. If you 
have a Mango Medley drive, the drive cannot be accessed correctly 
during critical parts of the Windows 98 setup. This includes running 
setup from a Medley drive and storing information on a Medley drive during Setup.
 

Upgrading your MWave drivers
----------------------------

If you get a message during Setup that "Windows 98 is incompatible 
with the version of MWAVE drivers on your computer", remove your 
existing MWAVE drivers and install the new set of drivers shipped 
with the Windows 98 CD. 

1. Run the IBM MWave setup.exe program. You can find this program 
   in the MWave folder under the BetaOnly folder on the Windows 98 
   CD. This program first removes your existing MWave drivers, 
   and then allows you to install a new set after rebooting.

2. When the software has completed removing the existing version, 
   you are prompted to either choose Upgrade or to remove the 
   adapter card from your system. If this is an upgrade, then the 
   installer will reboot your machine.

3. After rebooting, the NEW HARDWARE FOUND window appears with the 
   option to select the driver you want to install. Select "Driver 
   from disk provided by hardware manufacturer" and click OK.

4. The INSTALL FROM DISK window appears. Browse to the MWave folder 
   (see step #1) and click OK.

5. Follow installation instructions. 

6. Once the Windows desktop is displayed, a secondary install  
   starts, automatically creating a folder.

7. The hardware is now installed and working. Restart Windows 98 
   Setup. If you see a dialog box stating that Windows did not 
   complete a previous installation, choose the Safe Recovery option 
   and installation will proceed correctly.

See the Readme file in the MWave folder for more information.
