Art,

You can reinstall Windows 98.  The best method is to backup your old data files
to CDROMs and then F-disk your old drive. Thereafter you just install Windows 98
from your original disks.  If your original disks were not Win 98, 2nd Edition
you need to get on the internet to download the update files.  Another method
would be to search for your corrupted files and replace them from the original
installation disks.

A simpler but more problematic method is to put the Win 98 disk in your drive
and hit reinstall at the command screen.  Make sure you mark the "save old
files" instruction. You should also save your old data on CDROM in case
something goes wrong.

Just get a new computer with Windows XP Pro. That is the easiest but most stable
alternative. You can then take your CDROM-stored data and put it into your new
machine....

TJF

PS Give the old computer to some kid who loves to tinker.
