Jerry,

Do you have a working copy of Win Me? Do you have access to a CD burner?
If yes to both then look for the folder C:\Windows\Options\Install or
C:\Windows\Options\Cabs. Which you have depends on the initial
installation media. The folder you want is the one containing the file
BASE2.CAB together with around 24 other files with a CAB extension
(possibly more if you've
installed some updates), including Base2.cab, catalog.cab, driverN.cab
(N=5-7), net3.cab, net4.cab,precopy.cab and win_N.cab (N=8-22) plus a
number of other files including setup.exe.

Burn the contents of the folder containing BASE2.CAB to a CD and if you
then ever need to reinstall Win Me you can do so by running setup.exe from
this CD.
