Hi Marcel,
    Just do a search for .CAB files , if the Win98 sources are on your disk
those are the files it is in.
Start/Find/Files&Folders then enter *.CAB and search your hard drive(s). If
you find one folder with a lot of these files all in the format WIN99_99.CAB
(where the 9's represent any digit) then you have cracked it.
Best of Luck.
