uninstall and reinstall Windows 98 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 at 5:01 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Bev (1 messages posted) I have a Gateway desktop, built in 1998. We now have a trojan virus (Spyware.Smitfraud) that has infected the internet explorer. I believe it has caused problems in the operating system because I can't get it to defragment or shut down properly. (And yes I do have an up to date virus scan on it now.) Can someone give me exact instructions as to how to uninstall the operating system and clean the hard drive off and then reinstall Windows 98. I have the Windows 98 disk, the boot disk and all the disks that came with the computer when we bought it knew. It doesn't have a lot of space and can't run Windows 2000 or XP. I am using another computer now but don't want to get rid of the Gateway. Thanks for your help.
