Actually in my opinion Windows XP is the biggest *** from all versions and Windows 98se is a lot better than it.
If it works for you, fine. To each his own. My 9x days was a nightmare and after turning to 2K/XP I've never looked back. But saying 98SE is better than XP is... well, taking it a bit too far. In what way is it better? OK, it's cheaper. It will run on pretty old hardware. It doesn't have a ton of unnecessary cosmetic embellishments. But aside from that it's just a load of badly coded, bug-ridden crap.
For 99% my problem has nothing to do with the OS.
If the VXDs indeed are the problem, then it *has* something to do with OS since 2K/XP doesn't use VXDs, but 9x does. And quite frankly, if you're able to state something with that kind of certainty I don't see why you're here asking questions to begin with. You should be able to figure out that one measly percent yourself.
