If the problem is only a missing file, you may get the repair for free. as
it shouldn't take any longer than a minute. At least, I would do it for
free.
You only need to bring your PC box, no need for monitor, keyboard, ...

> Hi....... My name is Kevin. I've got a privatly built computer and I have
the following problems. Some while back, I downloaded one of those peices of
shareware that McAfee puts out that was supposed to "clean up disc space".
Anywhoos.....to make a long story short. With this program, my HIMEM.SYS was
accedently deleted and I can no longer load my Win98. I've had no luck
reformatting.....deleting my current Win98.....boot disc doesn't do me any
good either<i aint profficient in the DOS commands>. What I'm thinking that
I'm gonna have to do is take my machine to a "computer doctor" and have it
fixed. Therein lies my question. Can anybody give me a ball park figure of
how much this is gonna cost me to get fixed at a computer repair shop?
And.....how long should this fix take? Any information that anyone could
give me will be greatly appreciated. Oh Yeah......when I do take my 'puter
to the shop, what exactly should I take with it<as in
monitor...keyboard...mouse....ect.>
