There HAS to be an easier way! Does anyone know how >to rebuild chess.bmp from the installation floppies? I propose the following addition to the FAQ list. I need to restore file x from the windows 3.0 floppy. How can I do this without re-installing windows. Most of the files on the win 3.0 floppy disks are compressed. To uncompress them use expand.exe on disk 2. This is a DOS program, so run it from the DOS prompt or chose File/Run in Program Manager. Copy expand.exe to your hard drive, insert the disk which contains the program you wish to restore, and type: expand a:chess.bmp c:\windows\chess.bmp substituting the appropriate directories and filenames of course. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Strazdus | sstrazdu@hopi.intel.com | Insert your favorite .sig here.
