» Microsoft stopped providing "Windows Updates" for Windows 98 SOME TIME AGO (additionally, Win95, WinNT and WinME are no longer maintained by Microsoft®). Virtual Office WILL NOT work with these older operating systems, including Windows 2000. Virtual Office MLS Toolkit will run on Windows Vista, Windows XP and Apple Mac computers running Parallels.

» Regularly run "Microsoft® Windows Updates". It is important to install these updates as they often contain critical security patches. These updates are easy to get; simply click on the "Tools" menu bar at the top of Internet Explorer, then click "Windows Update." When you are on the "Microsoft® Windows Update" main page, simply follow the instructions.
