To solve annoying Windows errors, you might want to try a Windows Registry Check. In most cases, optimizing the Windows registry will speed up your Windows.
I have an English version of XP and don't want to install the T-online software as it changes menus to German. At the moment I use a dial-up modem but will be getting DSL soon. The PC is an old 800Mhz P3.
Also, I have another PC with an English version of98SE that I would like to connect without T-online software.
In case you get a DSL router you only have to enter your connection data into the router. That's it. And you'll be able to browse without any T-Online software.
I don't know how about Win98SE. Could be the same.
