Hi I have big problem - my computer running Windows 95osr 2 version B crashed and on restart the auto scan disk ran - I deleted some messed up files and actually they were important. Then when I went into Win95 I connected to the internet and then tried to open a Netscape browser 4.5 and the message came up with 'can not find wsock.dll' Then it said I should restart my computer - that I did , then the computer came up with a message saying that 2 files were deleted 1. Javasup .. something and 2. ndis.drv or something It then said can not find or load mouse.drv and that my system.ini points to it. It then said reinstall windows... Problem I now only have Windows 95 original and no version 2. Also I can not reformat to erase all data on my harddrive since I have important study, work and recent web site files that have not yet been backed up. What can I do, I am using my handheld pc to write this email as the only email device I have left. Can I buy a new harddrive format that with a new purchased Win 95 Osr 2 and get the computer up and running and then install my old harddrive as a primary slave drive and then copy over my important data? If I did a reinstall with a reformat will all my files be there? I have a start up disk for this computer that I created along time ago for this computer. Is this of any use? I only have a Iomega zip disk version of Win 95 OSR 2 can this be used with the Guest driver and ms-dos drivers for my zip drive? If I can extract a mouse.drv from a cab file on my zip disk version - in which cab file is it in? Excuse the cross posting but I need access to my web site files on my computer for continual updates of my entertainment site as well as work related stuff. Please I need help fast and I will be very grateful for any help that goes my way ----------------------------------------- Using bMobile news 3.0 for Cassiopeia A-11A http://members.xoom.com/singloon/index.htm http://members.xoom.com/singloon/entertainment.htm - for movie in 1999, 2000, 2001
