It is a standard W98 file that you can extract from your CD to the
Windows/System 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 If the above generates the warning box, then replace the missing file through DOS: To replace a missing or corrupt file with an original copy, you must locate the file in the .cab files on your W98 CD. Using the machine you are posting with, open Explorer and select the folder containing the .cab files. Open the Tools menu, click Find, Files and type: *.Cab in the Named box. Type the name of the wanted file in the Containing Text box and click Find Now. This lists the .cab file your wanted file is located in. Double click the .cab file to see what's in it and right click to extract the wanted file to a floppy disk. Boot with a floppy start up disk--CDRom support is not required. If you do not have a start up disk, make one with the Fat32ebd.exe file located on the W98 CD: tools/mtsutil/fat32ebd. At the A: prompt, put in the floppy containing the file you extracted. Assuming you are replacing a .dll file named xyz, type: Copy A:\xyz.dll C:\windows\system\xyz.dll and hit enter. Once the file is copied, remove the floppy disk and reboot. While .dll files are filed in the system folder, other files may be filed elsewhere so make sure you specify the right folder. -- 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 "dibbley" wrote in message ... can anyone help?
