If you install the SDK or DDK debug components, reinstall Windows 98. Some legacy third-party animated icon programs for Win 3.x may not function correctly on Windows 98. However, Windows 98 fully supports animated cursors when using compatible display adapters. For more information, see article Q123334 in the Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/kb/default.asp Microsoft MS-DOS utilities running under Windows 98 --------------------------------------------------- The MS-DOS utilities installed in the WindowsCommand directory have been enhanced to work with Windows 98. Do not use the disk repair utilities that shipped with older versions of MS-DOS. Most of the other MS-DOS utilities that worked with earlier versions of Windows should continue to work with Windows 98, but if they were specific to older versions of MS-DOS, you may need to use the SETVER command to enable them. The following MS-DOS utility files are deleted after you upgrade from an earlier version of Windows: The following MS-DOS utility files are upgraded after you upgrade from any version of Windows 3.1. Disk utilities that perform low-level disk functions, such as defragmenters, disk-repair tools, and disk-compression utilities, often do not function correctly on FAT32 drives. Some of these utilities should work correctly on Windows with FAT16 drives. Contact the program vendor for information on Windows 98 compatibility with older The disk utilities included with Windows 98 (ScanDisk and Disk Defragmenter) have already been modified to fully support FAT32. DriveSpace 3 is included with Windows 98. It has been modified to detect FAT32 drives, but it does not compress them. Multiple Display (Multi Monitor) Issues --------------------------------------- Some programs were not developed with the capabilities to operate seamlessly in a multiple display environment. As a result, these programs may exhibit abnormal behavior while operating with more than one active monitor. Share.exe no longer works in MS-DOS mode ---------------------------------------- To support FAT32, SHARE support has been disabled in the real-mode MS-DOS kernel (sharing support is still provided under protected-mode Windows 98). If you are upgrading to Windows 98 and install it in the same folder as your previous version of Windows, you do not need to reinstall your programs. If you install Windows 98 in a new folder, you must reinstall all of your Windows-based programs. Copying from your old Windows folder to your new Windows 98 Your existing MS-DOS-based programs should run on Windows 98. If you experience problems with an MS-DOS-based program, you can set it up to run in ***To run an MS-DOS-based program in an MS-DOS 1. Create a shortcut to the MS-DOS-based program. 2. Right-click the shortcut you created in step 1, 3. Click Program, and then click Advanced. 4. Make sure the MS-DOS mode check box is selected. When you run a program in MS-DOS mode, it forces Windows 98 to shut down and load the program in an MS-DOS environment. You do not have access to devices that require protected-mode drivers. If you find that an MS-DOS-based program slows down or 1. Right-click MS-DOS Prompt on the taskbar, 3. Drag the Idle sensitivity slider toward Low. 4. Under Background, make sure the Always Suspend Existing antivirus software running on Windows 98 should be able to detect viruses, but they may not always eliminate the viruses they find. We recommend that you update your antivirus software to a version that is designed to run with Windows 98. Contact your antivirus software vendor for an upgrade. Disk repair and optimization utilities -------------------------------------- To make it possible to store long file names on a FAT volume, it was necessary to change the Windows file system. These changes prevent most existing disk repair and optimization programs designed for Windows 3.1 from functioning correctly. Depending on how the disk repair and optimization programs work, Windows 98 may block them to protect the data on your disk. This limitation is necessary in a multitasking environment to prevent disk corruption caused by multiple utilities running simultaneously. We strongly recommend that you upgrade to disk repair software that was designed for Windows 98 if you are upgrading from Windows 3.1. For more information, Windows 98 is incompatible with Stacker 4.1 and earlier versions. You need to uninstall Stacker version 4.1 or earlier before upgrading to Most Windows 3.1 shell replacements still run on Windows 98, but with some limitations because of the taskbar, 32-bit components, and the new Windows 98 shell. If you want to continue running one of these programs, upgrade to a version that was designed to run with Windows 98. The major Windows 3.1 shell enhancement programs this limitation may affect are Norton Desktop, PC Tools Desktop, Tabworks, Dashboard, and Direct Universal Naming Convention (UNC) network ----------------------------------------- There are three ways to assign a network - Assign a network resource by using its UNC name. UNC names are in the format \servershare. Windows 98 uses this method by default. - Assign a local name to the network resource. For example, assign one of your LPT ports to - Assign a drive letter to a remote disk drive. This method was the default in Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 and is still supported in Windows 98. Using a UNC name removes much of the ambiguity of the Windows 3.1 method. That UNC names tend to be longer than their Windows 3.1 equivalents can cause problems for some programs. If you experience such problems, you can revert to the Windows 3.1 method Using a UNC name may affect the following programs: Design CAD 2D for Windows, CorelDraw for Windows, Corel Photo Paint 5, ccMail, Quickbooks 3.0, Lotus Notes, MS Profit 1.0b, and other programs designed for If you are running 7th Guest with a Pro Audio Spectrum 16 sound card, enable and use Sound Blaster compatibility mode, or configure your Pro Audio Spectrum card to IRQ 5 and DMA 3.

Adobe has a patch on its Web site (PhotoShop v. 4.01) which corrects this problem at http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/photoshop/ If you use the Microsoft Sidewinder Pro and switch resolution from 640x480 to 320x240, the joystick will stop responding.
