Do you see My Computer icon on your screen (desktop)? If yes right click on it and choose Properties. Under General tab see what writes?
System: .....

[SoScrewedHelp]

Ok I right clicked it pressed properties and under systems it says Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition then a bunch of numbers lmao...

Unfortunately 98 has no System Restore tool.
You may try downloading OpenOffice free Office suite. http://www.openoffice.org/

thanks i'll try that...if not i may just have to give up my computer for a couple of days to get is fixed... that is my last resort tho lmao

Do a search Start>Find>Folders and Files and enter wordpad.exe in the search box and run.

In Win.98 Wordpad is usually in C:\Windows\Accessories and can be started from there.

Good luck

Ok what if he`s actually deleted it
So you can download a similar one > http://download.kappa.ro/action__file/id__176 <

[Dusty]

T-Chai - sure he may have deleted it but it could also be a simple corruption of the shortcut path.  With the level of knowledge he has displayed it will probably be simpler for him to create a shortcut than download/install if the original program still exists somewhere on his pc.  It may also be possible to guide him thru' the steps required to extract Wordpad from his Win.98 cd.

Who knows...

[SoScrewedHelp]

Hey thanks for the help everyone I downloaded the open office one it works pretty good for now...i'll just have to bring my comp in to get fixed when i have time..thanks for the help everyone...I still feel like the dumbest gurl ever lmao..but oh well..
Thanks again..

It's not a dumb question if you don't know the answer.
