I've tried to restore my backups from Win98 in XP but
only to realize that I cannot. 98 uses a .qic extension
while XP uses .bkt

Is is possible to restore the files without having to
reinstall 98, or having to find a 'friend' with a win98
computer, etc etc etc...

Is there a program out there that I can use?

Cannot Restore Backups That You Create in Windows 95, Windows 98,=20
or Windows Me with the Windows XP Ntbackup Tool

You may have success restoring Win 9X backups (.qic files)
with Stomp BackupMYPC (formerly Veritas Backup Exec),

There's a 30 day free trial, so try it out!
