Anyone...
I finally took the plunge. I bought a new computer that came loaded
with XP home edition. I'm running Win98 on my other machine. (I'm still
using Win98 because I have a film scanner that won't work on XP. Nikon
didn't make an upgraded driver; their solution was for me to spend
$2,000 for a new scanner. Ha!)
Here's my problem, I can't get XP to recognize the Win98 machine which
has my laserjet connected to it. I also want to transfer files.
I ran the XP network wizard and it had me create a floppy to run on the
other machine. However, Win98 doesn't recognize the file as a valid
32-bit application.
What can I do? I could buy a printer hub for my network, but that
wouldn't solve sharing files.

P.S. Another query is about Win98's "show desktop" icon on the taskbar.
There isn't one with XP, that I can find. Is there a keystroke I can use
or some other method to create the icon?
