How do I install or uninstall components of Windows 95, 98, or Me?

You can use Add/Remove Programs to add or remove almost any component of Windows 95, 98, or Me, including HyperTerminal, the Backup utility and other disk tools, Microsoft Exchange, and Microsoft Fax.

For instance, if you need to install Dial-up Networking, follow these steps:

1. Click Start and choose Settings, then Control Panel.
   
   
2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
   
   
3. Select the Windows Setup tab.
   
   
4. Double-click Communications.
   
   
5. Check Dial-up Networking.
   
   
6. Click OK in each of the two dialog boxes.
   
   
7. You most likely will be asked to insert the Windows 95, 98, or Me CD-ROM, or one or more of the Windows 95 installation diskettes.

In addition to installing Windows 95, 98, and Me components, you can use the Install/Uninstall tab in Add/Remove Programs to install or delete Windows programs (such as Word, WordPerfect, Excel, or Netscape Communicator) on your PC.
