HELP: Fatal error with RUNSHELL.EXE

[Fran Arreciado]

Please, my computer (without installing anything), suddenly has a fatal
error.

When you start Windows 95, ask you for your Id and passsword, and next
shows the following message:

Error loading RUNSHELL.EXE. You must reinstall Windows 95

(the original is in spanish. This is the closer i could translate it)

Then the Windows shuts down, and I can't do anything.

A DOS prompt only session can be opened, so the rest of the disk is Ok.

I tried to find the file RUNSHELL.EXE in other computers and didn't
appear. I looked on Microsoft TechNet too to get info.

Before reinstall all the software (development, Office, Web tools, etc...)
please talk me about any experience in the same way. I would appreciate it
very much.

Sorry if i misspelled some words. Thanks.

All you need to reinstall is Win95, it won't affect any of your other
programs.

Cool!. I did the following:

1. Boot the computer with a DOS disk with MS NT Server DOS Client. Logged
on the domain and copy the
windows directory (and subdirectories) to a server folder.

2. DELETE Windows System directory.

3. Install Windows 95. Because I didn't delete the Windows folder, i still
have the registry with all the configuration about net, programs and so on.

4a. Boot again. Windows 95 starts Ok, but some apps doesn't. Wait for the
solution:

4b. Copy from the server folder to windows system folder all that files
wich i don't have now. (adding files, but without replacing existing
files).

5. Then, all the apps work properly (Excel, Vb, Word..., the Mail folders
are Ok), except for MS Access and MS Proxy Client, wich I had to reinstall.

So, i lost about two hours, instead of spend a whole day installing,
tunning and configuring all the software.
