    If you put your install disk in the drive and reboot do you get the option to Repair Windows?  If so, try it.  More than likely you're looking at a reinstall of Windows.  If you have to reinstall, you may lose some of your data.  Good luck.

      Try using SFC to recover the original files from the CD.
      If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

      there was no option to repair windows. i have removed the win 98 and reloaded about five times, but i still get the following
      can not find system.ini
                        nwnp32.dll
                        and about 4 files .vxb

        Hmsam,

        Can you tell us whether those dll's are OS specific or an application one.

        When do you get the error?
        While booting or when you start an application?

        when i start up my computer.  it comes up in the DOS mode(?).  i hit enter 4 times then  win 98 begins.
        reads-system.ini can not be found, then it lists 4 .vxd files.

          Sometimes a clean install is a quick & efficient way to go.

          i take it that means erasing the whole c drive and re-installing from the very start.

            I don't mean you have to do that, it's an option though depending on how much other stuff you have on there.

            I'd try reinstalling Windows over the previous install and pray it works with no other data loss.  Otherwise I think you'll have to format and lose all.

            Actually there is a non-destructive method for re-installing Win98 which retains all your files and settings...if this is what you want to do post back and i'll give instructions.

            Hi, could you post those instructions for me please? im having some problems with my current install of win98 and could do with re-installing without losing everything, if i cant get it sorted.

            Cheers mate,
