problems with SE:IV v.1.49

ok, i guess i should clarify about the 'upgrade' to win98...in actuality, i had win 95 and had the game installed on that OS and was able to play with no problems...i then had to change out my hard drive because it had a problem, at which time i installed win98 onto this new hard drive...now the game is installed on my 2nd hard drive, which is slaved to my main drive...really the only thing on the main drive is win98...this new hard drive and the new OS have caused me no other problems, which makes this problem even more curious...
also, reinstalling 98 or 95 isn't do-able...
again, many thanks for any help anyone can give me...

AFAIK, you don't even need two CD drives. When it said it couldn't find my old Windows installation (on my blank system), I took out the Win98 CD, put in the Win 3.11 CD, browsed to the Setup.exe file, and it worked fine. Of course, it wanted me to switch back to the Win98 CD.

ok, nevermind, i straightened it all out, just took a lot of playing around and moving crap all over the place and reinstalling and some other stuff i don't even remember...but it all works now, thankfully...

That is how the windows upgrade disks are set up. You don't have to have the old OS installed, you can just have the CD for it. There is really now fooling involved.
