Instructions for installing the spss 2. for Windows, including the minimum hardware and software requirements, are located in the

Windows 98 and printing - If you're running Windows 98 and you encounter a problem printing headers and footers in your output, it may be due to the version of a Microsoft system DLL, the Rich Edit Library (riched32.dll).

If you encounter the problem, you can work-around the problem by replacing your current riched32.dll with the version that SPSS requires. Note that replacing a system DLL can cause problems with other applications.

To replace riched32.dll:

Step 1. Rename the current riched32.dll. For example, rename C:\Windows\System\riched32.dll to C:\Windows\System\riched32_new.dll.

Step 2. Copy the SPSS version of riched32.dll from the SPSS installation directory to your system directory. For example, copy C:\Program Files\SPSS\riched32.dll to C:\Windows\System\riched32.dll.

Step 3. Restart the computer.

Step 4. Confirm that the problem with SPSS is fixed.

Step 5. Confirm that other applications still work as expected.

If you encountered this problem with SPSS, it is probably because you installed an application that uses a different version of the DLL. If you encounter a problem with another application, revert to your original dll, or contact the application vendor or Microsoft for a resolution. Note that any time you install another application on your computer, that application may replace riched32.dll, so you may need to repeat steps 1-5 to print headers and footers in SPSS output.
