How long ago did you try to install it? If a problem is less than 5 days old in win98 then restart the system pressing the F8 key and choose Command prompt only Dos or restart in Msdos mode and type scanreg/restore and try an older reg(cab file)backup,however you may have to re-install some programs and user changes if they were installed after this date. You can type just scanreg and say,"Yes" if you want to make a fresh registry back up. You can then also type scanreg/fix and then scanreg/opt to fix and compact the registry.You can type win or exit from Msdos mode to get back to windows. You can use the free WRP program off here to back up the registry as well as it saves more files. http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/freeprog.html HTH :O) Free Windows/PC help, http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/trouble.html Free songs download, http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/17/sheppard.html
