[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.  I guess I
don't have the CD on
my puny 4Gig drive. I also browsed it. W98 was pre-installed. (I have the
disk) After killing
the virus,  I tried to kill the RICHED.DLL, & replace 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
