Thank you for trying Freenet. Making Freenet work fully on Windows 98 would require significant effort. Windows 98 is no longer maintained by Microsoft even for critical security fixes. Running security software on top of an unmaintained (and therefore seriously insecure) operating system is self-defeating, although the risk can be reduced by not running IE and Outlook Express, running an anti-virus, and hiding behind a firewall. Nonetheless it is not behaviour we want to encourage. I recommend you either buy a copy of Windows XP or install linux (Ubuntu/Mandrake/etc).
