NEC Versa 500D/550D Windows 98 Upgrade Important Information 3
Upgrading To Windows 98
Follow these steps to upgrade from Windows 95 to Windows 98.
1.
Insert the Windows 98 installation CD into your system’s CD-ROM drive. If
your system has Auto Insert Notification enabled, you see a Windows 98
graphic asking you if you want to upgrade to Windows 98. If you see the
graphic, answer “Yes” and skip to step 3. If you do not see this graphic,
continue to step 2.
2.
Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the root of the CD-ROM drive. (Your
CD-ROM drive will most likely be E:). Double click on the SETUP icon to
start the Setup Wizard.
3.
The Setup Wizard guides you through the installation process, asking you
for information when necessary.
Note:
You must make three key decisions depending
on your particular needs and system configuration. Use the
following guidelines.
Concerning docking stations: You should perform the
Windows 98 upgrade in the mode (docked or undocked)
which you use most often. This is purely a decision of
convenience, as Windows 98 upgrades docking
configurations on an “as detected” basis.
During the Windows 98 upgrade process, you are
prompted to back up your Windows 95 system files.
Backing up your Windows 95 systems files allows you to
later uninstall Windows 98, however it requires an
additional 50 MB of disk space. These backup files can
be removed later through the Add/Remove Programs
icon in Control Panel.
During the Windows 98 upgrade process you are
prompted to make a Windows 98 bootable Startup
diskette, which contains generic drivers to start your
system in case of disaster. If your system cannot run
both a floppy drive and a CD-ROM drive at the same
time, skip this section by selecting “Cancel” at the “Insert
diskette” screen. Later, when you have the floppy drive
installed, go to the Control Panel, Add/Remove
Programs, select the “Startup Disk” tab, and create a
startup diskette by clicking the “Create Disk” button.
Upgrading the NEC Mouse Driver
When restarting your Versa computer using the Windows 98 operating system
in DOS mode, you may experience system problems. To prevent potential
system problems, install this updated version of the NEC Versa mouse
(VersaGlide) driver.
