The Panther Tuneup is only available for Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Windows 98 and ME have been unsupported by Microsoft for over 2 years, and you should begin budgeting for a newer system. Windows 95 machines should be replaced by all but the very specialized vertical applications as they haven't been supported for over 5 years, the hardware is largely unavailable from reliable sources, and after ten years, you've gotten your monies worth.
