Why would you want to. m98 was a better system anyway-less glitzy, (plain), but it worked most of the time without the bugs that XP has. Wait a year and it will probably work most of the time. I've tried to update and clean install XP on several, and like other early MS products (but more=so) XP will fail in some respect 90% of the time. Don't expect much help from MS yet. They are probably swamped. I have not gotten the first answer. BUT in answer to your question. The official answeris to go into the USER aera.

To my experience, this is possibly an issue with the less recent releaces of win98 (First Eddition vs Second Eddition), as the windows installer gets upgraded with the installation of OfficeXP only if win installer are upgradeable (Installs on Win98Second Eddition). There are servicepacks available as well wich might help you with the set up difficulties.
