[pchelpers] Re: Wordpad re-install

Go to Control Panel; Add/Remove Programs; Windows Setup; then click on the
word Accessories in the list; then click on Details then select wordpad.
The setup knows where to find the bits it needs to install.  You will need
the W98 cd.  If you have copied the whole cd onto your hard drive
previously, then you can point the install to d:\w98cd\WIN98 where d:\w98cd
is the drive letter and path to where you have copied the cd.

The other option might have been to simply kill the virus then replace the
one file from the cd.  Might be a handy tip for next time!

Cheers
