Hi. Several times in the past few years, I've gotten a lot of help on a Google Group Usenet message board that is geared towards Windows 98 users. I've seen many posts from people who have other versions of Windows, and usually they are re-directed to the appropriate board. Sometime their questions are answered on the Windows 98 board. The group I used was:
microsoft.public.win.98.gen_discussion
I think there are many such groups. As in any unmoderated Usenet group or message board, there are some unhelpful trolls and spammers, but I found they were far outnumbered by those who are dedicated to helping others.
