i have an old pentium, 133, i got from a friend, i think it had a virus or
something, had a lot of dos games, and a porn dialer on it. i deleted all of
it, and then windows wouldnt start, was trying to start in dos, kept sayin
winstart.bat missing. i got it to run by running step by step and clicking no
to config.sys and autoexec...

but......

when i try to run inet explorer 3, it opens but wont go anywhere. 4 wont
setup and wne i try to set up 5 it says files missing.

this puter has 16 mg ram and 1 gig harddrive..

what can i do,

Rename the "c:\windows\system\vmm32" directory, then try reinstalling
Windows again. I would also rename the "autoexec.bat" and "config.sys"
files.

Try posting this question to a general discussion group for the operating
system in question.
