Does Software for Win95 Work?
Most software designed for Windows 95 will also work on Windows 98. If you are running FAT32, however, certain programs, like disk defragmenters, virus checkers, and disk error checkers, will not work unless they are designed to handle FAT32 drives. If you upgrade to Win98, you may need to reinstall software on your machine for it to work correctly. The Win98 upgrade does remove files from your C:\WINDOWS directory, disabling many utilities and applications. Plus, older versions of key DLLs may be installed with Win98, forcing you to reinstall software.
