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!



The Win98 cd will have "drivespace" on
it.

you will need to go into the control panel and install that partitcular
component
and it will be installed from the cd.

Since I am not currently booted to my win98 machine I cannot offhand
confirm
where it is

but if you look around under "add or remove Windows components"

I'm sure you will find it.

It may be in system tools

I cannot find it on the CD.
The CD I have is a copy of my original, which was damaged by an
overly-playful puppy some years back (now a full-grown Rhodesian
ridgeback,
weighing in at 90 lbs.)



If you look on the cd you will need to use the advanced search
it will not show up as it's compressed in one of the .cab files.

best to use the control panel to install that componenent
