yea but what about windows xp. how can i fix it with that because i
dont have a copy of win. 98.

I would just reinstall Xp(full or repair install) if that is you main
os and reformat the drive if you are not trying to save any files, how
were you running the two os sytems? as two actual os systems or did
you use something like VMware and set it up as a virtual machine?

Are all virtual tools and software from second os removed from
computer? along with there file folders and so on? If not delete
them.

That is all I have for ideas right now, Keep it simple!

later,

It's basically the same throughout the versions so why not try the win
98 way on xp ;)

[jonny5]
