thanks, Nigel
I ran the sfc & got some Windows\system file corrupted message. so I re-wrote
that.
my CD is 98, not SE, I guess it's similar. It just puts me thru the same thing
as the ctrl panel
....I did the re-install. it choked & sputtered finally finished. still NO
wordpad!!!!!!!! ARRRRRRRRGH! :-{
I will go to the site Tonia mentioned - WordpadPlus.
till then,
Ellen
