Windows 98 will not start
Do you have the .cab files on the hard drive? Often when you don't get CD with the
computer, the setup files are put on the hard drive, usually at C:\Windows\Options\Cabs, or C:\Windows\Options\Install Sparrow.mpd would be in BASE5.CAB, and belongs in the C:\Windows\System\iosubsys folder. If you can't find the .cab files on the hard disk, email me at glenv @ mvps dot org -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "johnho" wrote in message ...

that's just a driver problem,
press F8, boot in safe mode, remove the driver then reinstall it it's kinda small, fits on a floppy for sure so you can get it from another computer Best regards, Costea Bogdan "johnho" wrote: Windows 98 gets to the splash screen "Windows 98" then freezes.System File Checker says the file "sparrow.mpd " is corrupted.
