Re-installing W98SE
"David" wrote in message
... What my Win98SE does not have is a functioning Windows Explorer. I can't use it. Any time I, or a program, tries to use it, the computer crashes. Soooo, I thought an up-grade might replace that faulty component, and yet not be too large for my old computer AND allow me to run the older programs I'm so hooked on. An up-grade to Win2000 (that IS different from Windows NT, isn't it?) may allow an "intermediate up-grade" and, at the same time, replace my faulty "Windows Explorer". EXPLORE.EXE is not a "component" of the Win98 Operating System so much as its core -- the essential central part that enables the peripheral parts to work. You may be able to repair yours by running the year 2004 Upgrade/Security disk or any of several service upgrades. We do not know. That is why your fastest route to a serviceable PC is to reinstal Win98SE which takes about 45 minutes. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |
