Nope, the Win9x line (95,98,ME) does NOT support the Messenger service, so no Net Send messages to them. You need a 3rd party app to make this work. Here is one to try: http://winpopup-xp.com/net-send-for-windows-98.html
That's right, Windows 9x clients do not have a Messenger service by default. I think that you should have Winpopup already installed (it comes with the operating system, I believe), so all you woul dneed to do is put a shortcut to it in the startup folder - and tell your users not to close it, so they can receive messages from you.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
