eventually thats what I'll do. For the minute I need to check out a VPN connection which will only run on W2K, The data on the Laptop is not important but I would prefer to keep it as is if possible.
The laptop stops responding when I opt to upgrade to w2k. Does 98 have to be at a certain patch level before I upgrade?
Thanks,
MCP

I don't think so (in fact I've done an upgrade on a new install of win98FE & SE - ie, no patches) - perhaps you have a hardware compatibility issue? You could try booting from 2k install CD and installing 'on top' without formatting the partition. Wouldn't be an upgrade - but should leave your data. If you have got a hardware issue, this may fail too of course (I notice the M$ tool which was available on their site to check 2k compatibility is no longer there).
