Got into trouble in trying some W98 utilities. Apparently one of them
was a NT type app. In a very reliable W98SE computer, I ran an
executable, the machine then rebooted and now gives a DOS screen:
========
file is missing or corrupted; c:\windows\himem.sys
there is an error in line 1 of config.sys

file is missing or corrupted; emm386.exe
there is an error in line 2 of config.sys

file is missing or corrupted; himem.sys

file is missing or corrupted; dblbuff.sys

file is missing or corrupted; ifshlp.sys

-----

can't find win.com, can't continue loading windows

I copied emm386.exe, himem.sys, and ifshlp.sys to a floppy from a
working W98 machine. Was planning to dig out a DOS book and copy the
files to C:windows,

What is the best way to save the existing installation?
