I have created a nasty case of DLL hell on my home computer when I
uninstalled IE5, (IE5 & my original Win98 set-up killed each other).
Re-installing IE5 might fix it, but I don't have an install set on the
computer anymore & can't connect to the net to d/l it.
I tried to re-install the entire Win98, but the Win98 CD, (standard OEM
version which came with the machine), won't install as it detects something
on the C drive - it tells me it is designed for OEM installs & I need the
upgrade version. I have done re-installs before no problems with Win95 so I
guess it is new & 'improved' MS copy protection getting in the way (rather
wish they would fix some of the stupid bugs in Win98/IE 5 I have noted while
fighting with my machine over the weekend).
Any ideas on what the Win98 looks for on the drive? I have tried moving
everything out of the root & renaming the windows directory - do I have to
re-format the drive for the install to work? (arrrgh - not another machine
re-build)...
