Install the Win98 folder from the CD into your windows directory, then run
system file checker.  You will find this in start, programs, accessories,
system tools, system information.  Under tools in the menu bar you will see
system file checker.  Here you will run a standard check and update all
system files.  If you are prompted for a file restore use the Win98
directory or the CD.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Pre-install win98 following


Hi List:

I apologize for my first post here, I should give more details on my side of
problem. I bought my computer half a year ago from a local store, since then
I have had to deal with few windows crashes. I had to install windows98 few
times. I'm now feeling I'm ready to build a computer myself. I bought a
motherboard, a celeron CPU, 64Mb of RAM, a ATi AGP video card, a internal
modem, a 10G harddisk, and want to build it up with functional windows98. I
will give it to my relative as a gift who live in another city. He will use
it mainly for Internet usage. I don't want to give away my windows98 key, so
I need to install windows without the need of registry number. I remembered
when I first time I turned on my computer, I had to enter the number from my
windows book, I asked this to the place I bought my computer, they won't
tell me how to do it. Can anyone here help me please?
