Window in Danish (?)

That's one of the advantages of installing to a new folder--none of the data
has to be "blown away" until such time the new system is fully functional.

When you reinstall the system, the system files will then be in the new
folder and the old system files in the Windows folder will no longer be
needed nor used.



I'm assuming you use Win98

Don't blow away the "Application Data" folder in your current Windows
folder prematurely. If you use any of the Mozilla applications. They and
some other programs store custom data, links, emails etc. there that you
may not want to lose...

Note: When you install into a new folder, most of the programs installed in the copy
of Windows you were using in the old folder will no longer work, and will have to be
reinstalled also.

Have you first tried uninstalling the ieSpell program you think may have been
responsible?

O.K. then. If files that Windows98 needs to operate are still in the old
windows folder, how will they know how to communicate with each other? I'm
just trying to understand what I will be doing before I do it. Don't want
to screw up my computer any worse.

Thanks.

The system files are contained in the Windows folder. If you install the
system to (say) Win98, the system will then operate out of that folder and
not the Windows folder where the problem resides.

I don't mean to be picky, but how would installing Windows into a new
folder
help? Would not the "problem" still exist? I'm just trying to
understand.

Yeah but I've had people think that now that the new OS install was
working they could delete the old Windows directory (and everything in
it) with no further consequences...

An advantage is only good until someone does something that negates it.
