I have to many things installed on win 98 , as a result it start crashing frequently. Is there any way by which I can install freash copy of win98 after removing win 98 completely fro my system without removing win2000.

If you reinstall windows98 it might overwrite your boot loader :eek: ...

check the root folder of your hard drive for a file called system.1st

if it exists follow this procedure

dir /ah

attrib system.1st -s -h -r

go into win98 folder and

attrib system.dat -s -h -r

ren system.dat system.bak

copy c:\system.1st system.dat

this should take your win98 system back to the driver installation point when you first set up windows
- hope this helps =)

NB - system.1st is a hidden system file
