There are several type of file extensions that are executable. ".com" is 
one of them.

The command.com file is a primary Windows file. It is normally located 
in the Windows directory.

The install program is looking for the pkunzip program to unzip the file 
151704.zip which has been placed in your Temp directory. PK is an older 
compression program. I would download and install Winzip to your 
computer. It has a free trial period. Windows 98 does not have a built 
in program for this function.

Try this and see if the install works. If not, others may have more 
useful advice. Hold off on spending $ on hardware you can not now 
afford. I do not believe this problem is hardware - just a matter of 
having the software operate with your hardware.
