I don't say NT is better then Win98, but it's a fact it's more stable and you have more control over the system. And by the way, the login had some good things, while you can surf on the net as a user which you have given really limited rules. (means smaller chances for hackers etc.) My son had Win98, and for my person the only thing which is better is Drag and drop. I never have problems while installing programms, everything works well. Just my opinion, but i'm shure your problems would gone or if not you can locate them easy with the manager-functions. SHARKEY
