Config.msi!!What are these files? I found perhaps 50 mb of these on my HD
during some disk maintenance and may have
corrupted one of them. Can I get rid of most
of them? Using win98 and hardly ever use IE.

.MSI are Microsoft Installer Files. To install the programs, you must have Windows
Installer Installed on your machine. It comes installed by default on Windows 2000
and Windows ME. You can download it from the Microsoft Product Download area at Windows Installer
After you have installed it, you can double click on a .MSI to install the application.
If the application is already installed, you will get an option to repair it or remove
it.
Before you install a newer version, you need to remove the previous version. After
removing it, you will need to run the installer again by clicking on the .MSI file.
Good luck.

I don't know if you're still wondering, but I just found an answer to that same question
on the Houston Chronicle on-line.
The address of that article is:
http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/tech/896116
and the question is the second one on the page.
