Hmm, all I can say is maybe you have different OEM win98 package...like maybe USA as compared to Australia. ?? There are also different versions of the standard original windows 98 CD. What I have is among the oldest, if not the first, from June '98. Win98 CD's from '99 or '00, were different #'s, so maybe that makes a difference.
Oh well, I'll have to work more on this tonight. Past my quitting time here. Thanks Peter, Ralph & Jeff, for your replies so far.
