This probably won't do anything when you first install Windows 98, but it could be a lifesaver later on.

Windows 98 has an Update Wizard that uses your modem to locate, download and install an updated driver, an update to part of the Windows system, or new tools. If there is a problem with the new software, you may want to uninstall it. Update Wizard Uninstall will undo the update and revert to the previous version of the driver or other Windows component.

The Update Wizard is accessible through various parts of the system. For example, when you bring up the Display Properties dialog and press the Advanced button on the Settings tab, you can opt to change the display driver. When you do so, you are presented with this dialog:

The Microsoft Windows Update checkbox is the one that tells it to look on Microsoft's online database for an updated driver. You must have registered via the Registration Wizard to take advantage of this facility, though registration can be done instantly online.

There is also a Windows Update item on the Start menu.

After you have installed updates this way, Update Uninstall Wizard will list them and offer the option to uninstall.
