All you need is a card reader to use Windows 98. I now have WinXP but I still download to the computer via a card reader. Peter is right - the Pentax software doesn't run on 98 so, if you shoot RAW you need another raw converter. One you could consider is Silkypix - it has a free mode and it will run on 98. http://www.isl.co.jp/SILKYPIX/english/index.html No need to go to Windows 2000 unless you really want to.... Cheers, Brian ======== Elements 3 and 4 have a very good RAW convertor. You may have to bump up the memory in your machine. Not sure if 98 works with newer Elements (or vice-a-versa). As far as the USB thing goes, just use a card reader. It's easier anyway. Card readers that are USB 2 are backward compatible. I use a Belkin one that has 4 slots (because I also have an Optio Si4 that uses a SD card). It's the 8-in-1 Belkin card reader. OTOH, welcome to the world of digital!
