Hi Jack
I am running Windows 98, and tried to follow your instructions but I could not find
the WIN_17.CAB, I get the feeling a virus has removed the RunDLL32.exe from my computer
and it means I can't do alot. Any help would be much appreciated. Do you know where
I can get a new RunDLL32.exe file?
Many thanks
Rob
