About this title

Synopsis

Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) includes "live" Internet connectivity and an Internet Explorer 5 interface. This text provides a reference/tutorial to the operating system. The CD-ROM includes utilities, diagnostic programs, applications and commercial demonstration programs.

From the Author

With 1700 pages, we covered everything!
I based this book on the ever-popular Mastering Windows 95 and Mastering Windows 3.1, so I believe it will be very helpful and easy to read. As of last count we have sold over a million copies of Mastering Windows in its various incarnations. Now this new Windows 98 edition has worn out my fingers. (Just kidding, but it is about 1700 pages long.) I've written eleven books on Windows over the last ten years, and I believe this is the best one yet.

For this book, I worked with Windows 98 for nine months, watched the operating system evolve, talked with other testers, and did a ton of experimenting. Then I brought in several other expert writers to help out. Between us we designed a book to provide coverage of all Windows 98 features, from upgrading and installation through using a DVD drive or converting to FAT32.

But mostly importantly, I tell you how to survive using Windows, and how to get typical everyday work done. After all, that's what most people do with their computers -- whether on a single computer or on a network. The first part of the book presents the basics of using Windows 98, so that beginners are not left out. You'll learn to run your programs, organize your work, print out your documents, and use all the supplied accessories.

Of course we covered the fancy stuff like watching TV on your computer, networking, email, remote access, using USB, ACPI, and all the other newly supported technology in Windows 98. Among the advanced topics, you'll find:

* How to create, post, and get your web sites served

* How to use the new Windows scripting host

* Extensive coverage of gaming

* Tons of networking know-how, including to Windows 95, NT, and Macs

* Info about fastest Internet connections, using Outlook Express and Internet Explorer, and all the supplied Internet utilities such as NetMeeting, ComicChat, FTP, Tracert, etc.

* Multiple monitor and multiple modem support

* Multimedia upgrading

* Active Desktop, site subscriptions, channels

* Emailing, Newsgroups, and Web browsing

* Sharing your machine with other users

* Converting to and from FAT32

....and a whole lot more. There are numerous Tips, Tricks, Notes, and Warnings sprinkled throughout. Also a huge index, and many illustrations. Then, we put the entire book on CD (in Adobe PDF format) and included that in the back of the book. This is good for fast searching and display on screen. Take the CD with you on the road and leave the book at the office. The second CD has an extensive collection of popular and useful Windows 98 shareware programs.

I think you'll find this book indispensible in your use of Windows 98.

Sincerely,

--Robert Cowart
