Then he would just go into Control Panel - Add/Remove and uninstall WinME. The problem with doing this is as he's found out the Win98 files maybe missing or corrupt in someway so he's a bit stuck. The only way out of this is to buy a Win98SE CD of eBay they are quite cheap. I assume he has a floppy drive. Download a WinME <a href="http://www.bootdisk.com">BootDisk</a> and get a friend who has a floppy drive to make him a boot disk. Then he can format the drive and install Win98SE. The other think he will have to do is find all the drivers for his additional hardware, video card, sound card, printer, scanner etc. He will need these for a new install.</body></html>
