I do a quick format (format C:\ /q)every 3 months as recommended for Win98.
Gee… I’ve been using Win98SE since the first Win95 installation - never reinstalled, only 3 times updated (to Win95 OSR2, to Win98, and to Win98SE) - i.e. I’m running the system for about 7 years. I copied it to new hardware whenever I updated and it still works. I would never format the drive just because it’s “recommended” - I wouldn’t be able to configure the system again to my (favourite) state.
As for the problem with the iNews window - I’d say it’s a problem of the avast<->Internet Explorer connection - i.e. either IE, or avast, or something in between. Maybe a problem with the particular IE version on Win98… is anybody else running the same OS/IE combination?
