 ===============
 To reinstall -any- upgrade you have to reinstall what you upgraded from -
 presumably Win95 in this case - and then redo the upgrade.

  That is not entirely true, the Windows upgrade will look for a qualifying
product (same or previous version of windows) on the hard drive. If it fails
to find one, it will ask you to insert a CD, or install floppy(s) from a
previous Windows version to verify that you have a qualifying product. The
previous version doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive. In fact
you'll get a *cleaner* install if it ISN'T on the hard drive.

HTH,
