Traditionally, books about computer operating systems are exceedingly dense. Packed with jargon and too-small, inadequately explained screen shots, these books intimidate more than a few new computer users. Teach Yourself More Windows 98 Visually breaks from convention and puts images of the computer screen at center stage, explaining screen shots with clear, succinct prose.

This book shows how to use some of the more powerful and specialized Windows 98 accessories, such as the Character Map and the Phone Dialer. Ruth Maran and her staff, who have put out a whole series of excellent books like this one, do a very good job of showing how to customize the Start menu, a perpetual nuisance for many users. They also show how to convert a hard disk to the faster, more efficient FAT32 file system. Later chapters deal with dial-up networking and various built-in Internet applications.

Since this book includes a summary of the fundamentals of the Windows 98 user interface--clicking, dragging, and the like--users with a little bit of experience will find this book suits them well. Absolute neophytes may want one of the more basic Windows 98 books in this series. --David Wall
