Re: install win98 and date change

Hi Jim,

got more or less the same a couple of days ago but without the date change.
I was trying to use a program from the resource kit (code page and language,
I live in Greece you know...) but it did hang my system. Back to c:\ when
rebooting and same himem stuff.

I found no other solution than fully reinstalling Win 98 booting from
startup disk (access to CD). I'm pretty sure there should be some other way
but I did not find it.

Sorry for not being more helpful,

good luck and best regards,

Frederic
