Unfortunately, my advice is a little late for you.

I use Windows 98, first edition, with all the patches.

I have not upgraded for several reasons. The main one being...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Uhm..Windows 98 or ME is broken by default! I fogot to mention, that if possible upgrade to XP. All of 2000's benefits plus a few more..

I let my friend convince me to upgrade one of my workstations from WIN98 to Windows ME.

When I complained that my HP scanjet and PhotoDelux 2.0 is not being recognized by the harddrive, his response was, "...scanners only cost a little of $100 these days....."

I like your commandment better. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Should have let it alone.
