[pchelpers] Re: Wordpad re-install

Thanks, Nigel, 
it won't bring up the proper CD path. I tried that. it just comes up with 
DRIVE.INF I think, 
then if I Browse, it never offers the proper Wordpad option.  After I ask it to 
open it goes into a RUNDLL32 error. I don't have the CD copied onto my puny 
4Gig drive. I also browsed the hard drive. W98 was pre-installed. (I have the 
disk) After killing the virus,  I tried killing the RICHED.DLL, & replacing it, 
but I was stuck with opening Word by a backdoor method - find & open RICHED.DLL 
(with Wordpad), then Wordpad is open.  At least it opened then!  
any other ideas - like what's the exact path on the CD? maybe I can type it in 
& get there. 
thanks 
Ellen
