You can drop a fresh copy of W98 over the top of your exisiting one without
losing all your data, providing you can boot into Windows with you access to
your CD Drive. I THINK you can do it even if you can't-you need to make sure
the 1st boot in your bios is your CD ROM drive and when you get the Windows
installation notice, you should be able to choose 'overwrite current O/S'
or 'Install Clean Version' (or something similar)..Choosing the first one
should just overwrite your OS rather than formatting your hard drive.
Just a few thoughts..
What 'HP Stuff" did you uninstall?
Have you uninstalled the Nero software? I'd certainly do that.
Check your ASPI Layer..I mentioned this on a post yesterday..do a Google
search for 'Force Aspi'. The conflict with the Adaptec Win Media Player
could be caused because Nero has changed the ASPI layer to something your ot
her software/Peripherals aren't comfortable with.
