Thanks everyone, I tried replacing the file and things seemed okay for a bit, but then I started getting stop errors for a number of things to the point that the computer became unusable. In the end I put '98 back on and put 2000 on a newer computer running an Asus motherboard and Celeron chip which I have till now favoured less. 2000 now runs beautifully.

I suspect I had a number of hardware issues that Win2K did not support.
