PCHealth help
Using a Gateway Essentials 733c OS Windows ME 1.1.
Some how, while trying to correct a problem with AOL software, I wiped the contents of C:\Windows\PCHealth\. That means no Help, no System Info, no System Restore, etc.. Any way I can get the PCHealth app. back without doing a complete system reinstall? |

That folder contains several sub-folders which in turn contain many files -
too many to list - and some of which would appear to be machine specific. The only 'last resort' that I can think of is to copy the lot from another machine running WinMe and hope that it works. Otherwise it looks like plan B. |

Mike and Mart thanks for help. I was hoping there was an easier way. I am
slowly rebuilding from an OS reinstall that I had to do three months ago when Nortons IS caused a crash. solved that by buying a new Compaq with Vista Home Premium, but wanted to keep the old GW because I have old things that Vista can't handle.

I feel that trying to extract the various files from the Win Me cab set and then rebuilding the folders is probably too much effort without any guarantee of success. -- Mike Maltby MVP |

... solved that by buying a new Compaq with Vista Home Premium Wow!! - an extreme and pretty expensive repair then? g Seriously though, under the circumstances, you may as well cut your losses and re-install afresh and just hope that you can access the intermittent Windows WinMe Update site before it vanishes for ever (see recent discussions in the WinMe.general news group). I guess you still have your installation CD - either an MS or OEM disks - and am sure you will be able to get assistance, should you require it, from the various contributors around here. Good luck Mart "dlsayremn" wrote in message ... Mike and Mart thanks for help. I was hoping there was an easier way.
