I had a copy of W98 and it was a mess. Went to the W98SE and it worked 
great, but Imust admit I also increased memory up to 256 megs for that one. 
I suspect a lot of problems running W98 or W98SE comes from too little 
memory?  They say it will run in 128 megs, but it sure doesn't run well!  
Upping the memory seemed to solve a lot of problems and now I've upped it 
to 384 megs so runs very well for me.   :)

I use the ad-aware weekly, but since I went to Mozilla Firebird haven't had 
anything added to the bad guy list?     I use Free Agent and Eudora Pro for 
email.
