Thanks much.
My problem was that I was using an upgrade disk for Win98se, instead of the
original CD (which worked like a charm).
Thanks again.

Since your boot disk works, you could try to restore the registry to a date
before you removed your driver. I don't
know if this will solve the problem, but it's worth a try...
- Use your boot disk and boot to A:\ prompt, (with or without CD-ROM
support.)
- Change the directory to C:\Windows\Command.
- Type SCANREG
- Choose 'Start' to scan the registry, then you'll have options...
- Choose ' View Backups '
- Use your up/down arrow keys to select a RB file (Reg Backup) dated before
your problem. (Windows saves 5 backups
by default - you can increase that up to 99 thru scanreg.ini)
- Highlight 'Restore' and hit 'Enter'.
- 'OK' your way out, remove your boot disk and restart.
Hope this helps...

How do I repair Windows from the CD ROM. I can see the files in DOS but
when I type in "setup" I get a message
saying I can only run this command from Windows. Same when I type in
"setup" from the Win98 subfolder on the disk.
