It has been running fine till just a few days ago. Her boyfriend somehow deleted some .dll's & now it shows the win.dll is missing, along with some others. I hate to have her completely wipe her drive & reinstall Windows. She is a REAL novice at this. I'm not an expert. Is there a safe way to recover the dll's? If not, can she do a non-destructive reinstall of Windows 98, with out losing all her pictures & files?
I am using Windows SP Home & am not real familiar with 98. Though my hubby says if I can help her fix hers, then I get to work on our old Compac w/98.
Thanks!

Have a look at this from M$ on running the System File Check for Win 98
