RE: compatibility with Win98SE
I would upgrade to either WinXP Pro or Win2k Pro. Those are the recommended OS's for SW's.
Until my job switch a month+ ago...I was running SW's on a Win 2k box.

NT no longer works properly (on this ancient machine) using PhotoWorks with 2003 or above.
2000 Pro is excellent--very stable on my other ancient machine of only 666 Mhz P3
XP Home so far is OK
XP Pro seems to work well for others, although I've not yet tested that myself.

RE: compatibility with Win98SE
Really, I'm not unsympathetic. Unfortunately, in order to keep up with performance demands and enhancements, any software of this complexity has to keep migrating to the latest hardware and OS platforms. You regulars know I keep saying this. Once you get into this kind of software you are on a constant upgrade path - like it or not. So you have to budget for it. The initial purchase becomes less significant. It can be unfortunate and disappointing so some, but it really is a case of "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen". So often I hear the complaint that "I need... but it's too expensive." If that is the case, I'm afraid you need to take a brutal look at your business and realize you are trying to compete out of you league or seriously underfunded. However in student and/or home use situations it really is tough.

(3) Not recommended for production use.
(4) Windows 98 SE (Second Edition) is the only version of Windows 98 that is supported
This tells me that SW is not a good tool to use on Win98SE
SW04 isn't supported by Win98SE
This is true for PE versions too.
