while booting up, press F8, press command pronmt only, then goto and go into
the directory where u keep all ur windows installation files..

in case u doint have them on ur HDD then goto the cd where they r stored
<TIP> most likely u wont have CD support in Pure dos (command prompt only),
u can however add the diver files in ur config.sys, but in case this is all
greek to you follw the below instructions<TIP>

1.) Load windows
2.1) Eject the cd-drive
2.2) Insert the windows CD_ROM into the cd drive
2.3) Close the cd drive :-)
3.) copy all the '.cab' files into a temporary directory on ur hdd, from the
windows 95 cdrom
4.) copy a program called 'EXTRACT.EXE' into that same directory
5.) exit out of windwos and restart
6.) boot up againn and start pressing F8 quickly and as many times as u can
as soon as u hear the 'BEEP' of ur computer :-)) <jes kidding, but press it
once or twice as soon as u see 'Starting Windwos 95 on ur screen>
7.) goto 'command prompt only
8.) goto the dir (CD DIR_NAME) where u copied all the cabinet files (the
.cab files) and extract.exe, it is very IMPORTANT that u copied extract.exe,
in case u didnt start over from (1)
9.) once in the directory issue the follwing command
10.) EXTRACT /A WIN95_02.CAB RUNDLL32.EXE
11.) once u do that, ull see the proggy trying to extract the file from the
different cabinet files..
12.) once that is done, copy the file (rundll32.dll) to the windows/system
directory AND windows directory..
13.) COPY RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS
14.) COPY RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM

boot up, ur prob shud disappear, in case it dosent say so ill try and sort
that out!
