On the general tab, system properties, does it say 4.10.1998? If so, it
appears the system was installed from a 1998 disk and not your SE disk -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Rob" wrote in message ...

It does say 4.10.1998. The sleeve has a red star that
says "second edition updated and improved". I have since looked at a friends SE disc and the disc itself says SE. I have two of these discs that were used on two different computers and they both have the same .1998. If memory serves me we bought them at Fry's Electronics. The computers are home built. I could scan this sleeve and send you a picture of it. -----Original Message----- On the general tab, system properties, does it say 4.10.1998?

The sleeve is not important--I think it's what's on the CD itself (second
edition) that is important. I don't believe you will find that those are MS sleeves either. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo wrote in message ...

they are definitely MS sleeves purchased through a retai
outlet, I'm not making this up. I disagree with you in what's important because when you're standing in the aisle of the store you don't get to see or read the CD, you have to trust what's on the package. As offered before I can scan the sleeve and send anyone a picture. it's also notable that the CD key on the back of the sleeve matches the CD. I have two of these in posession so I don't think it's some random error either. -----Original Message----- The sleeve is not important--I think it's what's on the CD itself (second edition) that is important.

OK scan the sleeve, the CD label, the sales receipt (if you have it and it
is still readable) and the box the CD came in (if you have it). You can find my email address by going to my web site--please do not post my address in the newsgroup. Once I get the pictures, I will see what I can find out for you. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo wrote in message ... they are definitely MS sleeves purchased through a retai outlet, I'm not making this up.

My Win98SE OEM disk just says *Windows98*. No SE on the
disk. But it is 98SE. Right click on MY Computer and select properties. The first-General-page will state if it is SE or not. -----Original Message----- OK scan the sleeve, the CD label, the sales receipt (if you have it and it is still readable) and the box the CD came in (if you have it).
