Problem with Java 5

[john god]

Hello,
My problem started out with games, now with music, etc.
I thought I had Java 5 installed on my," Windows 98se  IE 6."
I was wrong. I deleted the old versions,
and what I thought I had installed.
I went and downloaded Java 5 again,
but when the box came up to install, I clicked on it and this came up:

Installed:Wrapper.CreateFile failed with error 32 the process
cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-You,
John God

Hmmm, looks like he needs to go to the Archive Java Technology Products Download to get a product for Win 98SE.  The latest version is only for Windows XP, 2000, 2003 Server.  I navigated to http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/other_jreversions.xml  where older versions can be obtained.

Oooops...

Went to your site:

Thanks Again,

I do have 1 more problem:
When I try to go into my games on 98se,
Freecell/Hearts/Solitaire/ or Minesweeper,
there is a white window with the window icon in it.
When I click on any one, I get:
The object that c:\windows\desktop\freecell.Ink
refers to has been removed or is inacessible.
Any idear how to get them back?
Thanks,
John God

It looks like your shortcut is corrupted.
I don't remember, where Freecell is located on Win 98, but search your computer for "freecell.exe", and make a new shortcut to that file.

I couldn't find it either,but this is what I tried,to no luck.
Went to Add / Remove unchecked games and rebooted,
tried to reinstall, rechecked games and a box came up to
insert Windows 98se disk. I did that and this came up:
The file "cards.dll" on Windows 98se cannot be found.
Setup couldn't find a file on the specified path.
E:\autorun\windows
Error Details:
Setup couldnot finish opening a file on the source disk.
Don't know anything about this or how to get the missing file.

E:\autorun\windows

This is pretty strange directory.
Open Windows Explorer, and search your Windows CD for "cards.dll" file.

[john god]

I searched the windows 98 cd but couldn't find the file.
Most really be hiding.

[Broni]

Is it full version Windows 98 CD, or an Upgrade?

[john god]

Its a full version Windows 98se CD.
Sorry, I relooked and found it.
It was in Win98_61.cab.
I saved it to C:. Not sure what to do next.
I clicked on it and this came up.
OPEN WITH:
Click the program you want to use to open the file cards.dll.
If the program you want is not in the list, click other.
Not sure what program to use.

[Broni]

Put it in:
C:\Windows\System directory
and try to uncheck games in Add\Remove, exit Add\Remove.
Enter Add\Remove, check games.

[john god]

Its done, all fixed.
I went into File Checker to extract the files.
When I put the cd-rom in, I had to type, E:\win98.
It wasn't in the path.
I want to thank you for all your help.
