I only have one question....why? Why not move to XP if you are going to spend money?

Have you tried going to windows update at Microsoft to get the latest updates for your system?
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Not sure it will update to SE but its a place to start.

You have to buy it.

I went searching for 98SE and I found at amazon.com a low price of $59.97 new. If your computer can handle XP I would suggest switching.. but if not, here is th amazon link:

...there are many other websites that might be less expensive.. I saw some starting at $38.88 but I wouldnt trust them....

I thank you both for your responses. It appears that my computer can handle XP and I have ordered the upgrade from amazon.com.
