I can vaguely remember your post about the Hid.dll a few days ago. Didnt you mention 
something about the size being different???? Mine is basically 32kb and is the original 
win98 FE version.

Have you got a Win98 CD.

You could extract the original Hid.dll from that using SFC. Or if the Win98 cab files 
are on the hard drive, the normal location is C:\Windows\Options\Cabs\

Insert the Win98 CD into the drive and hold down the "Shift" key, and wait till it 
stops shuffling, so it doesnt auto load the CD.

Go to Start > Run and type in   sfc   then OK it.

In the next window, select "Extract one file......." type in the exact name of the 
file. eg. Hid.dll  then click the "Start" button there.

Next window, in the "Restore From" box type in   ?:\ Win98\    ? being your CD drive 
letter. Or if on the HD then   C:\Windows\Options\Cabs\

In the "Save File In" box type in   C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM   click the OK button and it 
will copy a fresh Hid.dll to the System folder.

Close SFC and re-start the PC to update the system.
