If its a problem with 98 and it only happened during the last few days, you can also use scanreg under dos and recover a version from before the corruption. ONE reason why computers with 98 should be switched off on a regular basis as the first boot of the day that backup gets updated... I have seen portables which didnt have backups as the machines are never off, always in sleep mode...
