Thanks for that link. I installed avast! and ran it. It found no infected file
on the WIN98SE CD itself. What a relief. I checked a few other Zip discs I have
that I thought could be infected because I save Word97 .doc files in them. They
too were o.k.
Then I ran it for C: drive and it was o.k. But in D: drive, which is the other half
of my hard drive, avast! found a virus. Maybe this was the culprit after all:
D:\Downloaded Program Files\Popupsh.ocx
Malware name: Win32: Trojan-gen
Malware type: Virus/Worm
Apparently I must've downloaded something from the Internet that I didn't need, maybe
I didn't want "popup" ads in the online news that I click on.
So again, thanks. I just installed the correct sound files that C.K. found for
me. This time the download and installation went smoothly, but still no sound.
I'm going to the shop tomorrow and see what they can do about it. I'll let you all
know. Have you seen my web site?
