Bronco,
Thanks for taking the time to write a detailed reply.
The best solution is to start windows up with your windows 98 disk they one you use for installing it and reformatting etc.
That's the problem mate. He does not have a Windows98 start up disk. He says it came with his computer when he purchased it. Or put another way, Windows 98 was already loaded into the computer's hard drive when purchased. All he did wasplug it all together, start it up, register his name on a few programes like virus programesand whatnot, and he was on his way.He does remember the W98 disk that came as an additionwith the acessories, but seeings there's been over three years lost since he purchased it, he cannot find the disk. He's checked everywhere.
I know (and have been told by some others) that if he can get his hands on the Windows98 programe on disk,it'll probably get him out of the hole. But he just doesn't have it.
Any ideas (anyone)where the Windows 98 programe can be purchased on diskfrom? Is it infact actually still available?
He's just a joung kid in schoolI'm trying to help out. I really didn't want to get involved, but he's a bit of a loner....and I have a heart for those types of kids.
I'll do what I can....I promised myself.
