SOmeone snuck up to her machine and downloaded a new operating system for it?

Time to backup, format and reinstall. If you have never done this take it to a shop.

    Whats wrong with XP, you can use this just as well.  Someone installed XP for a very good reason, now you can use new softwares that don't install on win98 machines...

    We don't know if they installed it for a good reason, if it was a legal or infected CD copy, or if the hardware requirements would even be sufficient to run it. All of this BESIDES loading it on top of Win98 it sounds like. Not a good idea.

      And the fact that noone knows who installed it is something I find very disturbing.
