        Hello,   A request for help:-
I've been advised by several 'experts' to reinstall my operating system
at regular intervals.  This procedure is said to be the only practical
way to clear up certain fatal faults which crop up.
       My operating system for several years has been Windows 98.  I
have tried reinstalling using the original master CD to the original
location and address.  However I do not see an option to simply REPAIR
- thus keeping the myriad of updates and customizing accomplished over
the years - rather than obliterating the old installation.  It would
seem so tedious to re-do everything.  Is it necessary?
         How can I 're-install' while retaining my present
particulars?  Is there any way?
           Many thnks for your attention,        Frank Warhurst
