I now need 98 to run the program. Can I get 98 online for free somewhere?

And as an answer to your question about getting Windows 98 for free? Unfortuatley that is not possible. Ebay should have it for about 20 or 30 dollars though. Personally I would recommend not wasting money on Windows 98 because software won't be supporting it much longer.

FAR FAR more software and hardware are supported in their current versions, and even when 98SE isn't supporting the current version, the supported version is 'closer to current' almost all of the time, versus Win95. USB, even USB 2.0 (3rd party drivers for USB 2.0) Firewire Windows Media Player 9 Direct X 9.0c Mozilla Firefox virtually all USB Flash Memory Pocket Drives still have a Win98 driver included Nero, Professional and OEM current version (take that, Roxio!) virtually all new printers and scanners, CD/DVD drives Paint Shop Pro 9 current version (take that, Adobe!) BEST 30 bucks you'll ever 'waste' :-D PS, I like Avast, and am glad it runs on Win95. Win95 with IE 5.5 is still adequate for Net surfing, but I'd pay the 30 bucks just to use Firefox instead!
