Interesting. But even if XP does update the files, how can it do it when
it isn't running? If you boot into Win98 and are using Papyrus with a word
processor, how can XP affect the files? Sounds like that relativistic
physics problem- entanglement!
Make sure that you win 98 can run all the drivers you need for your
machine. I had a new XP machine, reloaded with win98 and found I couldn't
get drivers for the modem that would run under Win98!
The manufacturer hadn't made such drivers, and generics didn't seem to run
it. So I couldn't use the modem. Then it turned out that the Win98 OS
didn't recognize all the USB ports on the new machine. That's when I "gave
the machine away".
