Windows 98 First Edition
The "Getting Started" manual has a `Contents' for its five chapters, a `Glossary', and an `Index' of ten pages. `Appendix A' explains how to use a mouse. `Appendix B' has "Internet Basics". `Appendix C' is "Accessibility for People with Disabilities", page 113 lists the problems. `General Windows Keys' are on pages 120 to 123. The `Preface' tells how to use this manual (p.vii). Chapter 1 teaches about Windows 98 in its 23 pages. Chapter 2 is titled "Installing Windows 98". A new installation that uses FAT32 requires less disk space (p.26). Or you could upgrade from Windows 95 or Windows 3.1. Chapter 3 explains "Using Your Desktop". It is similar to Windows 95 with enhancements (the USB ports used by most printers).
Chapter 4 tells how to customize your desktop, the display on your monitor. The `Active Desktop' can display Web pages (p.63) or Web TV on your computer (p.71). You can use multiple monitors (p.75). Chapter 5 has many technical topics "Advanced Issues". The FAT32 file system is more efficient in using disk space (p.85), supports larger hard drives, and is more reliable. There are many topics here, reading them can inform you about options available for a computer used by other people. Windows 98 can be used on a 486 or equivalent (like a 586 or 686). Later versions of Windows require Pentiums with faster CPU speed. This system does not support USB Mass Storage devices (memory sticks or other USB devices).
There are Unofficial software drivers on the Internet that will update your system to Windows 98 SE. The address is: [...]. Download this 35 Mb file to your disk and run it to update your system to the Second Edition. Next download the software driver file (NUSB320-Eng-98FE.exe) to support USB Mass Storage devices. Go to Device Manager and remove ALL drivers for USB flash drives or any USB 2.0 controllers (many have an uninstall option) . Remove ALL unknown devices from Device Manager. Run the downloaded file NUSB320-Eng-98FE.exe and follow the instructions, rebooting after installation. When the computer boots up again, it may detect new USB 2.0 controllers, in which case you may need to reboot again.
