re: Computer crash..trying to salvage files Tuesday, September 7, 2004 at 3:39 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by newcal (4 messages posted) Carl, Thanks a lot for the suggestions, I guess I have tried some of this...here is a stumbling block, my win.com file has disappeared so that stops me right there. I am thinking of trying to re-install win98 at this point. The other issue I have (maybe it isn't), my win98 CD was an upgrade from Win95 ....it seems like a catch 22 situation...anyways...thanks a lot for the help.
