Steve, if I'd noticed your post first, I might not have joined you with
the same problem!
Were you able to solve it? The install on a WinXP machine works fine,
and transfers between two WinXP machines works fine.
On my installation disc there was a zipped file which had an
"install.exe" file which seemed to work with W98SE. When I plugged in
the cable, Windows asked for a "vnic.sys" file, which I finally found
via the internet (although I can't be sure it's the RIGHT file). When I
pointed to the location of that file, the W98SE install proceeded.
However, whenever I try to access the other computer (which has the
files I want to move to the W98SE machine), I get an error message of
"device not loaded."
The transfers between XP machines is simple and fast, so I'm hoping you
now know the secret of a W98SE install!
