Answer»

its my day-off today, im in internet cafe as of now to log this problem
this morning i met my OLD friend and ask my help regarding his computer


the problem:
1-
first i installed a ccleaner and its working
then i installed registry mechanic, it detects 330 registry problem but it freeze there, it cannot stop there also in safe mode same work same problem
he told me that few days past he cannot connect to internet because of problem in network (TCP/IP) and im not so familiar in this thing.
so we tried to fix by, Control Panel ---Network and reinstalling TCP/IP but the problem is he dont have the CD Win98 sE (because its a old pc and its only a gift, second hand)

2-so we try system restore by restarting in MS-DOs (scanreg /restore)
and then we choose the date, so then it reboot itself and its freezzzeee.
(written in the windows like this)

C:\>set classpath..................
C:\>keyb gr, , C:\windows\ command..........
C:>c:c\windows\odilhlp.exe

and then nothing more, it really freezed there
but it can reboot in safemode

Can somebody assist us?
WIN98
Pentium 2

thanks for readingA real Windows CD would be very helpful - now and in the future. THere is no "sytem restore" built into Win98 as such. WHat did you do in TCPIP settings? Sytem Mechanic does have issues so be careful with stuff like that. It can turn a stablesystem into what you have now all by itself.

You might want to check eBay for a used Windows CD.Quote

thanks for the reply GX1_Man

TCPIP- im trying to rebuild it because he cannot connect thru dial-up
does you have any idea how to fix this

WIN98 cd- its not so easy to get the original, because we are 50 miles from the city
and one more thing, earning $3/day here in our place its not so easy to buy orig (even pirate)
Thats why internet cafe here is very popular

is there any chance to fix it?You can try this. Nothing to lose and it might help:

i will dl'd it already can i install it in safemode? (because if you see my first post, only safemode is accessible)

try to verify this, i got the following message in other forum

[highlight]Google doesn't find odilhlp.exe, and that's the program that seems to cause the lockup. Ask your friend what it is, and why it is in the autoexec.bat. After all, it's his computer.

Then boot into safe mode and use MSCONFIG (or Notepad, whatever you like) to disable or remove this line in autoexec.bat. See what happens now if you boot.Google doesn't find odilhlp.exe, and that's the program that seems to cause the lockup. Ask your friend what it is, and why it is in the autoexec.bat.

i remember that when i tried to repair the TCPIP, i got to copy&PASTE this odilhp.bat in c:\windows
can i delete it in safemode safely? ican only take a look back to the (old) pc by next week
