Taking her visual approach to Windows 98 training to a higher level, author Ruth Maran succeeds in documenting practically every user-level aspect of Microsoft's new operating system in Master Windows 98 Visually. You'll find a graphical explanation of how to carry out most any Windows 98 task in these pages.

This book's table of contents comprises a list of everything Windows 98 can do (for example, "Compress a Drive"). Then the corresponding sections explain the task with prose and a series of gray-scale screen shots. Lines and labels (called "callouts" in design parlance) explain what happens as the sequence progresses, and tip boxes answer common questions.

Coverage of Windows 98 features includes all the big subjects, such as setting up multiple monitors, changing screen resolution, and setting up printer sharing. Reasonably obscure topics such as WinPopup and advanced dial-up settings get attention. However, some topics--such as ISDN support--are almost ignored. Furthermore, some advice is silly: no matter what Microsoft says, Windows 98 will not run with any acceptable speed on a system with only eight megabytes of RAM.

Master Windows 98 Visually explains how to do practically everything you could want to do with the operating system. If you prefer to have your on-screen view reinforced by pictures in a book, this text is for you. --David Wall
