This is great for reporting error messages! It works fine in Windows XP. Does anyone know if it works in older Windows versions?

If anyone has an original w98se CD
and license for it which they would
like to give away to me for free;
I would be happy to try that version!
(maybe then my plug and pray
USB and firewire would also work)
:roll:
