re: Question about 'What to Throw Away' Tuesday, December 14, 2004 at 6:35 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by phantom (5661 messages posted) Thanks Carol, Does an upgrade CD have all of the 98 files on it or does it also use some of the 95 files in the cabs? And does the installation modify the cabs and for some reason still leave the files as 95cabs? Never done an upgrade. Much easier to do a nice clean full install and with a lot less problems when finished. On Tuesday, December 14, 2004 at 6:16 pm, Carol J wrote: > >Hi phantom, > >Actually, I messed up.
