The CD for upgrading Windows 98 to Windows 98 SE was available only by ordering it from the Microsoft web site. The cost was about $20 plus shipping. Now that Windows ME is shipping, Microsoft is no longer selling any version of Windows 98, including this Windows 98 Second Edition upgrade. However, all is not lost. Here is information about how you can get the Windows 98 SE upgrade.
To purchase the CD-ROM, call the Microsoft Supplemental Parts Department at 800-360-7561 and ask for the "Microsoft Windows SE Update CD" which costs only a $5.00 shipping charge.
You can download the update or order the CD-ROM on line. The download is only practical if you have a DSL or cable modem Internet connection, because the file is huge. To download, go to www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/default.asp and click on the little "Download" folder in the top center of the screen. In the paragraph titled "Get the latest updates to Windows 98" you can click on two links: "Download the Service Pack from Windows Update" (then click on "PRODUCT UPDATES" and select the Windows Update -- which won't be displayed if you have previously downloaded it or if you are already running Windows 98 SE) or "order the Service Pack on CD-ROM" (which costs only a $5.00 shipping charge).
Because of the size of the download file, and the reliability of the upgrade when it is on a CD-ROM, I strongly recommend that you order the CD-ROM either by calling the phone number listed above, or from the Microsoft web site.
By the way, on the "PRODUCT UPDATES" page you can download and install the DirectX 8.0 Upgrade. If you don't have it yet, you should also download and install Microsoft Media Player 7.0. This is a major improvement over the prior versions.
