System Files

Folks, also try the System File Checker in Win 98.  This will this without
the hassle involved in doing it at the DOS prompt.  And all DOS prompt work
on changing attributes of system files [if you are hardy enough to undertake
doing  this] should be done in DOS, not in a DOS window in Windows.

SFC can be run from the RUN line by typing SFC or SFC.EXE.

You will need to have your CD in the CD drive, or have copied the Win98
folder from the CD onto your hard drive.  I recommend against this unless
you have lots of disk space, and in any event you can save about 30 MB by
not including all the AOL, Prodigy, etc files on the Win 98 CD.
