Extract a copy from your W98 CD: 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 -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP Windows 98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "loustout1" wrote in message ...

Another way aside from Ron's suggestion is:
Click Start Settings Control Panel Add/Remove Programs Windows Setup tab. Double click Accessories to expand or click once on accessories click details to expand. Uncheck Calc, click Ok Apply Ok Close out back to the desktop and reboot. Once rebooted go back and recheck calc. Have the Win98 disk at hand in case it's asked for and if the Win98 .cab files are not on the harddrive. -- Brian A.
