have a friend of mine still runing 98 and is having error problems with msvcrt.dll
researched everything thru google on it to try and restore it back to it's original state but now there seems to be a problem with setupx.dll as possibly corrupted
have checked thru anti virus checks and ad aware checks and nothing on there to screw this up
is there a way to copy the files back off the original 98 disc and put them back into the windows files?
checked the Windows folders and it shows some hidden but I can't remember how to unhide them to find out where the files should be placed

It should be do-able. Take a look at the directions here for extracting original compressed windows files:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q129605/

thanks Dig, figured out the hidden files by googling earlier, the other info does come in handy and will give it a whirl
Thanks again
Thanks again
Ack. Windows 98 is a techy nightmare. I hate working on these old computers. Get a windows xp upgrade if you can.
If you have a windows 98 cd, I believe it has an option to like restore system files. If you DONT have a windows 98 CD, go to a computer store like compusa and ask them nicely for a copy. Windows 98 is not supported by microsoft anymore, so they are free. ( at least thats what I was told )
