Files not found after system crash

At the end of last week my computer decided to make a mess of my
directory structure and who knows what else.  (The hard drive seemed to
read/write continuously altho the light was not always on.)  I ran
scandisk and it found many errors including cross linked files.  In both
my omega directory and KR (knight-ridder) directories it found errors
which necessitated removing some files.  

I put on the "rescue" CD which came with my HP computer which reloaded
windows.  I reloaded Netscape (from a website) and after a bit of a
struggle got mail to work again. 

I reloaded TradeStation (4, endofday version) from the CD I received
when I purchased it (tho this put me back to build 16, apparently). 
When I click on the offline server, I get an error message "ssiact.386
is not loaded" in a window titled "or_sig.exe".  The ssiact.386 file is
present in the windows\system directory.  (I tried copying it to various
omega directories which did not help)  The ssiact.386 is identified as a
"virual driver" by the properties button.

For my KnightRidder (Bridge) Techcharts and data downloading program, i
get two different messages:  "cscmd.vbx" or "csinvis.vbx" not found.  A
search of directories does not find these two files anywhere.

Stupidly, my backups were neither very complete or up to date.  I
offloaded some of the data but never backed up the programs or the
system.   

Any help greatly appreciated as i am currently almost "blind".  I can
look at charts i can get on the internet now, but that's it.
