Don't know if this goes here but didn't want to derail a previous post.
After using 98SE2ME on boot up it says it can't find Program.
Pretty sure it is looking for Program Files.
How do I fix this?

I wouldn't mess around with these "hacks" for Win98. The best way to use it is the original Win98se. If you want the look and feel of ME, then just install ME in the first place 😉

ME has no DOS support 😉

ME, just like every other win 9x version, is running above dos and REQUIRES that this is installed, to be able to run.
Microsoft has tried to hide whatever is DOS related, but you can still boot to real DOS and play games without a windows shell. But with a little effort to enable this option 😜

Again, I just want to fix a Program looking for Program Files, but it is only looking for "Program"

Run "Msconfig" or download CCleaner and use their options to see what programs autostart. Then find the problematic one and disable or fix it.

You can use real DOS mode in ME too - just google for a "fix". But it's your decision.

Agreed - sounds like a bad path in a shortcut or 'run' item.
