Default HELP! My post-format Win98 PC doesn't have Drivespace 3!

Start / Settings / Control Panel / Add-Remove Programs / Windows Setup.
Select System Tools and Details. Make sure Disk compression tools is
checked. They are not installed by default.

If the option isn't there then the tools are already installed, and you will
need to indicate why you think they aren't working (eg, what happens when
you attempt to use a compressed disk). It is possible to make some changes
so they can be re-installed.

Do not attempt to install the tools by copying stuff off the installation
CD - you need to go through Windows setup to have the tools installed
properly.

I had to format my PC last week, and now my PC doesn't allow me to mount
compressed 'floppies' anymore - the CD I used to install Windows 98
doesn't
seem to have those files!
How can I get Drivespace 3 back? I need the files on those compressed
disks,
and don't know anyone with a Win98 machine.

Thanks in advance!
