Question Using D-Link DBT-120 with Windows 98 (not SE)

I have a dell PII laptop using Windows 98 (not SE as far as I know) and I want to buy a D Link DBT-120 usb BT adaptor to allow me to communicate with my Nokia 3650. I know this adaptor works well with the phone however it's minimum OS spec (according to several companies and the D Link Website) is W98 SE. I think i only have W98.

Q1. Does anyone know if I can run BT adaptors, or other BT devices through W98, without getting a new OS?

Q2. I know it's not the most appropriate forum to ask but how do i know if I haven't actually got W98SE, I mean does it say W98SE anywhere? I'm looking for some type of product imformation pop up window to confirm this obviously!

The laptop is only PII so thats why I'm happy with the older OS. Want to keep the spec low so it runs better with other big progs on it!

Help!?

IIRC, as long as you've kept your install updated through Windows Update, you should have a "SE" install.

However, you can get any and all info you may need by right-clicking on "My Computer" and hitting Properties. Somewhere in there is a tab with the info you need. (It has been awhile since I last booted the Win98SE install on my Linux box and I use XP at work (where I usually post from, don't tell my boss ))

You can get it going on 98SE but it's a real pain.
