    I don't know why you would even want to "upgrade" to Windows ME. Windows 98 is buggy, but ME is worse...

    Anyway, I think you may be able to go into the "Add/Remove Programs" applet in the control panel and find it in there, but I'm not 100% sure on that one, it may only be with newer versions of Windows. If you can't, then just reformat and reinstall Windows 98 (I would think that you'd have a Win98 Disc seeing as you were using Win98 to begin with).

    Here are a few links on reformatting and installing Win98:

    I found a section of a web page that talks about why you wouldn't want to use Windows ME. I found it at emulators.com secrets page.

    Here some quick links that will jump to anywhere on the secrets page:

    It's really hard to accept advice from a page that says:
    <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
