Sandy, suggest browsing the internet to see if you can find anyone else
that has successfully updated the same brand/model to XP (google groups
search or user forums at the manufacturer's site). Sometimes with laptops
you get into very specialized drivers.
Aside: I updated a little Compaq with a slower processor and ended up with
results acceptable for light work. Since that's all the laptop was used
for, we left XP on it.
On the other hand, if you have the original disks for the laptop - give it
a go. If it bombs or you're not happy with the results, you can always
reinstall Win98.
