I've got an older laptop and when I start the up and log into windows 98, I get MS-Dos error that comes up and it READS: Microsoft Cabinet extraction tool - version (16) 1.00.603.0
Copyright Mcirosoft Corp 1994-1997 All rights reserved.
ERROR: Cannot open file: 60

What does this mean and what can I do to stop this message from coming up.
Any HELP would be very appreciated! Thanks Does this happen before you get as far as Windows? Or once Windows has loaded? I'm thinking it's either something in your autoexec.bat file or in your Startup folder.This message appears after windows 98 starts up and goes to the desktop. Thanks for the help! I don't know anything about dos... I would just like the message to stop appearing. OKAY; the FIRST place to look is in the Start menu-->Startup folder. What do you see there?

After that it's a trip to the registry and the win.ini files, I'm afraid.ok...in the start menu folder, I have the programs folder, new office document icon, open office documnet icon, windows updat icon and WINZIP icon. I'm not sure what you mean about the win.ini fileDo you have a real Windows CD to reinstall with? That would be a LOT easier and it seems you have little experience with this.unfortunatly, I don't have any cd's or manuals with this laptop. Go to start/run, type in msinfo32 and click OK. From the resulting menu, click tools/system configuration utility. Make sure normal startup is checked and process autoexec.bat and process config.sys is NOT checked. Click apply and close. You will be prompted to restart. Click yes.yep, all those selctions were correct in the system config. utilityGo back into the system configuration utility. Click the starup tab. Post a list of everything that has a check mark.
