Hi C.
If you're still running Win98 and you haven't upgraded your PC along the way it is probably something like a Pentium 400 with 128 MB ram...?
WinXP will be very slow on here if it runs at all...
Just saying that if you're gonna spend money on a new Windows then you may as well by a decent PC with it already on - for about £350 - or less if you get 2nd hand. (and I'd install my current hard disk as a second drive in the new PC - all your documents immediately to hand)
If upgrading I would definitely export my address book and take a copy of your favourites folder. I'd export all my messages too (you can export the folders) just in case...I know I have had problems in that area in the past but my aging memory can't remember the exact details.
If upgrading then I'd google "upgrading win98 to winxp" - there's lots of walk thru's you can follow.
