I have an old version of Windows 98.  Here's the system info output:

Microsoft Windows 98 4.10.1998 
Clean install using OEM Preinstall Kit /T:C:\WININST0.400
/SrcDir=C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS /IS /IW /IQ /ID /IV /P J /IZ /II /NR /II /C 
/U:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
IE 5 6.0.2600.0000

Let me know if you can identify it as either new enough or too old.
If it is too old, is there an update I can apply?

Thanks.
