1. GENERAL SETUP ISSUES
========================

Quick Tips for an error-free setup
----------------------------------
 - Disable all antivirus programs running on your system. If these utilities are
   left running during Setup, your system may stop responding.
 - Run ScanDisk to check and fix any problems with your hard disk(s).
 - Make sure that no antivirus program is running while you are setting up
   Windows 98 Professional.

Disk Space requirements for Windows 98 
--------------------------------------
Because many factors go into calculating the amount of free space required for
Windows 98, these figures are only estimates based on typical Windows 98
installs.

Typical upgrade from Windows 95: requires approximately 305 MB of free hard disk
  space, but may require as much as much as 415 MB, depending on your system
  configuration.
Full install of Windows 98: requires 360 MB of free hard disk space, but may
  range between 310-400 MB depending on system configuration and options
  selected.

Also, if you are installing Windows 98 to a drive other than C, Setup can
require up to 25 MB of free disk space on drive C for the system and log files
created during Setup.

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.



2. INSTALLING WINDOWS 98 PROFESSIONAL
=====================================
For safety issues, Windows 98 Professional is installed from MS-DOS.
 - Boot from a floppy or bootable CD.
 - On Windows 95 or 98, press the F8 key when starting and choose "command line"
 - On Ms-Dos 6.x, press the F8 key to manually choose which drivers to load or
   to bypass.
 - Edit your config.sys and autoexec.bat to change the list of devices loaded on
   startup.
 - You will need real-mode CD-Rom drivers loaded to access the Windows 98
   Professional CD.

Switch to the drive containing the Windows 98 Professional CD and type:

CD \WIN98
SETUP



Installing Windows 98 Professional from Your Hard Disk
------------------------------------------------------
By copying all the Setup files to your hard disk and then installing from your
hard disk, you can eliminate most of the problems associated with file copy and
disk I/O issues. You can unload your CD-ROM drivers and free up conventional
memory to assist with low memory errors in this type of install. To copy the
Setup files locally:

 - Make sure you have access to your CD-ROM drive.
 - Free an additional 20 MB of disk space in addition to what Setup requires.
 - Create a temporary folder to store the Setup files on that drive.
 - Copy the contents of the Win98 folder on your Windows 98 Professional CD
   to the temporary folder you just created.
 - Reboot in Dos-Mode.
 - Switch to the temporary folder and type:
   SETUP



3. PROBLEMS DURING INSTALLATION
===============================

Antivirus software
------------------
 - Make sure that no antivirus program is running while you are setting up
   Windows 98 Professional. You may need to remove any references ot it in your
   Autoexec.bat and Config.sys 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 your computer documentation.
 - If your virus protection is enabled during windows setup, you may be warned
   with "Virus-like Activity" or "Master Boot Record Changed", "Application
   Wininst0.400\Suwin.exe is updating the Master Boot" or similar. You should
   permit this for Setup to finish properly. If you choose to restore the pre-
   vious settings, your system may no longer boot.
   If you receive a blue screen fatal exception error in Ios.vxd while trying to
   create a Startup Disk during Setup, start setup again with the /IE option.

Hard disk and scandisk problems
-------------------------------
The version of Scandisk run during Windows 98 Professional Edition Setup only
checks for errors. To fix these problems, quit Setup and run ScanDisk from
Windows or MS-DOS with the /all parameter.

If you don't have enough memory to run ScanDisk, or if you have other problems
while Setup is running ScanDisk, you can bypass ScanDisk in Setup by running
Setup with the /IS option.

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

CAB File errors
---------------
When you try to install Windows 98 Professional, or install a component that
requires copying files from the original Windows disks or CD-ROM, you may
receive one of the following messages:

 - Setup has detected the following decoding error: "Could not decode this
   setup(.CAB) file. Setup will attempt to recover from this situation, click OK
   to continue".
 - "Setup cannot copy your Windows 98 CD files. Clean the CD and then click OK.
   If you receive this message again, read the setup.txt file. This file is in
   the Win98 directory of your Windows 98 CD."

This behavior can occur for any of the following reasons:

 - Your Windows 98 CD-ROM may be damaged, dirty from smudges or fingerprints, or
   may contain scratches.
 - Your CD-ROM drive is not functioning properly.
 - Your computer is over-clocked.
 - Your computer has bad or mismatched RAM or cache.
 - Your computer has Bus Mastering or Ultra DMA enabled in the BIOS.
   The data may be moving too quickly for the system to keep up.
 - You are using a third-party memory manager.
 - There is a virus on your computer.

To resolve this error message, follow these steps. 
1. Remove the CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive, rotate it one-quarter to one-half a
   turn, reinsert the CD-ROM into the drive.
2. Clean the CD-ROM
3. Try using real-mode CD-ROM drivers.
4. Copy the setup files from the Win98 folder on the Windows 98 Professional
   CD-Rom to a tempory folder on your harddisk and run setup from within this
   folder. If you are unable to copy the contents of the Win98 folder on the
   CD-Rom to you hard disk, the CD-Rom may be damaged.
5. Check your computer for a virus using virus-detection software.
6. Run Windows 98 Setup using the /C option. This makes Setup run slower, but it
   should be more reliable environment to run in.
7. Try to slow down your computer (e.g. change Bus mastering / RAM / Cache
   settings)



Potential issues if you have a compressed drive
-----------------------------------------------
If you have compressed 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 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.
 - Use your disk compression software to free up some space on the host drive
   for the compressed drive.

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.



4. REMOVING WINDOWS 98 PROFESSIONAL FROM YOUR SYSTEM
=======================================================
You can no longer remove Windows 98.



5. INSTALLING WINDOWS 98 PROFESSIONAL WITH WINDOWS NT.
========================================================= 
You cannot install Windows 98 Professional over any 
version of Windows NT, but they can exist together on 
a single system. However, for compatibility reasons, it 
is recommended that you install each to a separate hard 
disk or partition. If Windows NT is already installed, 
Windows 98 Setup will add itself to the Windows NT boot 
menu to allow the user to multi-boot between Windows 98 
and Windows NT.

If you can no longer boot Windows NT, you should boot 
from the Windows NT recovery disks and choose the Repair 
option to restore the Windows NT boot files.

When installing Windows 98 on a system with drives 
created with Windows NT, you may receive the following 
error:

"Setup has detected that your hard disk has a 64K-cluster 
FAT partition. Because ScanDisk does not work on disks 
with this cluster size, Setup cannot continue. To complete 
Setup , you must repartition your hard disk, format the 
partition with a FAT file system that has a cluster size 
of 32K or less, and then restart Setup."

Running Setup with the "/is" parameter (e.g., Setup /is) 
will bypass ScanDisk and avoid this problem.

Setting up a dual-boot scenario with Windows NT
------------------------------------------------
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" will be 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.


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

Message SU0018
"Setup cannot create files on your startup drive and 
cannot set up Windows 98. There may be too many files 
in the root directory of your startup drive, or your 
startup drive letter may have been remapped."

The root folder of a drive holds a maximum of 512 entries 
(files or folders). This message indicates that Setup 
has detected too many directory entries in the root 
folder of your computer, and Setup cannot create the 
files it needs to set up Windows 98. Move or delete 
some files from the root folder of your drive, and 
then run Setup again.

"Unrecoverable Setup Error" Message
"Unrecoverable Setup Error. Setup cannot continue on this 
system configuration. Click OK to quit Setup." This error 
could be caused by various conditions. See "General Setup 
Notes" and INSTALLING WINDOWS 98 PROFESSIONAL
for more information.

Long File Names Error Messages
If you see the message "Setup has detected that the 
program, Long File Names, is installed in this directory. 
Setup cannot continue." quit Setup, and then remove Long 
File Names from your computer by using the Uninstall feature 
in Long File Names. See "View Software" for more information.

Not Enough Memory Messages
If you encounter an Out of Memory 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 Knowledge Base Article Q134399, "How to 
Increase Conventional Memory for MS-DOS-Based Programs" at 
http://support.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. (First, be sure you have a start disk that 
  supports access to the CD-ROM drive.)

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

	Setup /T:<drive letter>:\TEMP

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

If you have Multimedia Cloaking and are installing 
Windows 98 from floppy disks, Setup may not run 
successfully. 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  "INSTALLING WINDOWS 98 PROFESSIONAL ON A
SYSTEM RUNNING WINDOWS NT and INSTALLING WINDOWS 98
PROFESSIONAL ON A SYSTEM RUNNING OS/2 for more 
information.

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 your 
computer documentation.

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 about creating an MS-DOS boot partition, 
see your computer documentation.

You may also receive this error if you have third-party 
partitioning software such as EZ drive or Disk Manager 
installed. If so, reboot your system and run Setup 
from an MS-DOS command prompt. For more information, 
see "INSTALLING WINDOWS 98 PROFESSIONAL."

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, 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+

where "c:\windows" is the path to your Windows directory.

"Setup Could Not Back Up Your System Files" Message
If you see this error message while Setup is saving 
your system files, you may 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.

Uninstall can require up to 75 MB on many systems. If 
Setup is not offering you the choice of saving your 
system files, you may be very low on free disk space.

"Cannot Continue on This System Configuration"
If you get this message, you may have an older, 
incompatible disk partition. Before you run Setup, 
you will need to back up your data and then repartition 
your disk.

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 SU0168
Your computer already has an operating system installed,
which cannot be upgraded by this version of Setup. Please 
obtain the Windows 95 (or Windows 98) Upgrade.

This error can occur when you are attmpting to install an
OEM version of Windows 98 over a previous version of Windows.
-or-
An application has installed an OEM version of SetupX.dll 
that makes it appear that your current version of Windows is
the OEM version.

If you suspect this is the case, replace SetupX.dll with the 
correct version from your current install media.

1. Place your Windows 95 or Windows 98 CD in your CD-ROM 
   drive.
2. From a command prompt, change to your CD-ROM drive letter.
3. Type "Extract /a base4.cab SetupX.dll /l c:\"
4. Copy the SetupX.dll from your C: to your Windows\System 
   directory.
5. Run Windows 98 Professional Setup again.

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. If you have 
already created a Startup Disk, quit Setup, shut down your 
computer, insert the Startup Disk, and restart the computer. 
Then, run Setup from the MS-DOS command prompt.

"Setup does not have enough conventional memory to check your 
computer's hard disks." 

-or-

"Setup could not check the hard drives on your computer."

If you receive either of these errors, Setup was unable to 
run ScanDisk to check your hard drives. This could be because 
of low conventional memory or your disk contains errors that 
Scandisk cannot fix when run from Setup. To work around these 
errors, reboot your system to MS-DOS mode and run ScanDisk 
/all. Then, run Setup again. If Setup still fails, reboot 
to MS-DOS mode and run Scandisk /all /surface. This will take 
a little longer, but it will ensure your hard disks are in 
good shape. If, after running ScanDisk with these options, 
Setup still won't continue, you should run Setup /is to bypass 
ScanDisk.

NOTE: Bypassing ScanDisk is not recommened and should only be 
used if you are positive your disk(s) contain no errors.  If 
there are still errors, Setup may fail and your system may no 
longer boot.


8. HARDWARE NOTES
==================
This section includes notes on specific system 
configurations that may prevent Setup from installing 
Windows 98 Professional 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 
   will detect 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.

IBM Thinkpad Model 750x/755x/360x
If you have one of these models (including submodels 
such as C, CE, CX, CS, and CSE), before you install 
Windows 98 check the IBM 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.


Toshiba Computers
The ltmodem driver, version 2.16 and earlier, and the
Toshiba Windows 95 Utilities must be upgraded prior to
installing Windows 98 Professional.

the nearest Toshiba support contact.


9. MEMORY MANAGERS
===================
If you have QEMM installed on your computer, it is 
recommended 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. It is 
recommended that you remove all references to them 
from your Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files and 
useEmm386.exe and Himem.sys, which are 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 you not 
set the EXT parameter below 64. If you set this parameter 
to 0, Setup will fail.

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).


10. DISK-CACHE PROGRAMS
========================
Before you run Setup, it is recommended that you remove 
any third-party disk-cache programs and replace them 
with Smartdrv.exe, which is provided with Windows 98.

If you are running one of the following disk-cache 
utilities, remove it. In some cases, Setup will remove 
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)
  Norton Utilities Version 5.0 and 6.1 (DISKREET, NCACHE)
  PC-Cache (PC Tools disk cache utility) (must remove 
       before Setup)
  PC-Kwik Disk-Cache utility (Pc-kwik.exe)
  PC_Kwik Disk Accelerator
  PC-Kwik Version 1.59 (Pck.exe, Pskscrn.exe, Pckey.com)
  PC Tools(TM) Disk-Cache utility (Pc-cache.com)
  Secretdisk II Disk-Cache utility (Fast512.sys) (Do not 
       use with SmartDrive.)
  Super PC-Kwik Disk-Cache utility (Superpck.exe)


11. USING TERMINATE-AND-STAY-RESIDENT (TSR) PROGRAMS
=====================================================
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 directory.)

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. For more 
information, see the program documentation.

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 Professional, 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 Professional.

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 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
In many configurations, the NetWare NetBIOS TSR is 
incompatible with Windows 98. In most cases, Setup 
will detect NetWare NetBIOS and remove 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 
Networks.txt.

Newspace Version 1.07
Windows 98 is incompatible with this disk-compression 
utility.

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.

It is recommended 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 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 Norton Disklock documentation.

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 the 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. It is recommended 
that you run DESKTOP from its PIF, 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. It is recommended that you remove UNDELETE from 
your Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files before running Setup.

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

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