Did you get your computer from a pirate who bought one copy of Win98 and just installed it on hundreds of hard disks? Start-Run SFC. Specify C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE (assuming that you have Windows installed in C:\WINDOWS). Under "Restore from", specify either C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS (if you have this folder on your system) or D:\WIN98 (where D is your CD-ROM drive letter, to restore from the CD-ROM). Appreciate some help as I use it to do web pages! Thanks There are much better editors than Notepad. E.g. TextPad http://www.textpad.com/ http://www.epinions.com/content_66457210500 Stewart. -- My e-mail is valid but not my primary mailbox. Please keep replies on the 'group where everyone may benefit. |

NOTEPAD.EXE
The first thing you need to do is run a full scan of your hard drive with an
up to date anti virus program. Some virus made use of the notepad.exe file. Notepad.exe is a standard W98 file that you can extract from your CD to the Windows folder using sfc.exe. Run sfc.exe and select the "extract one file..." option. Type in the complete name of the missing file you want to restore or use the browse button for a file replacement. Click start and in the resulting window, browse to the location of the folder containing the W98 .cab files (either the hard drive or CDRom drive). If the information in the "save in" box is wrong, use the browse button to show where the file is to be restored to. Click OK and if appropriate, on the resulting screen, show the location where the file being replaced is to be backed up to. Click OK or skip as appropriate. Restart your computer and the file replacement will occur during the boot process. If you are going to use sfc.exe for other than the extract option, I highly recommend that you first read the article he http://home.satx.rr.com/badour/html/using_sfc.html -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "JOP" wrote in message ...
