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. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows Jerry wrote: I have 2 box and 2 keys and no CD's, does anyone know how i can get a goodcopy on disk or download one |
