Windows 98 SE
Windows 98 Second Edition (often shortened to
SE) is an updated release of Windows 98,
released on 5 May 1999. It includes fixes for
many minor issues, improved USB support, and the
replacement of Internet Explorer 4.0 with
Internet Explorer 5.0. Also included is Internet
Connection Sharing, which allows multiple
computers on a LAN to share a single Internet
connection through Network Address Translation.
Other features in the update include Microsoft
NetMeeting 3.0 and integrated support for DVD-
ROM drives. A memory overflow issue was resolved
which in the older version of Windows 98 would
crash most systems if left running for 49.7
days. Windows 98 SE could be obtained as retail
upgrade and full version packages, as well as
OEM and a Second Edition Updates Disc for
existing Windows 98 users.
