My OS is windows 98. you did a good job leading me down the Dos path. Before I go that way can one of you tell me about System File Checker?

If the above command is wrong, can someone correct me :) Another thought, if the msvcp60.dll is a windows system file and has some how gotten screwed up, which has lead to you having to get a new one then System File Checker tool in windows may be a better shot, I will let someone else explain that one, as I dont use it very often, if at all.
