I'm installing AOL silver and when I put the install guide cd in it asked for the 98SE (probably needs the serial no) cd to be inserted, I had 98SE installed when a shop repaired my computer is there a way around this.

If it is a legal copy of Windows 98 then you should have the original CD.

If you have not got the CD go back to the shop and ask them for it.

If you cannot get the CD you may be able to search the web to find a serial number.

The installation is looking for some additional drivers.
When you bought your PC, Win98SE was probably pre-loaded and many dealers did not supply a CD with the computer (still happens today). Usually the entire contents of the CD are on the hard drive, but it is knowing where to tell the installation to look that causes the problem.
Ask around, one of your mates may well have an old copy of 98SE which they no longer need. So long as you have your original Microsoft Serial Number, any CD will work. Failing that, ebay will have lots !
