windows 98
I lost my startup on windows 98. My startup disk did not work. I installed windows 98 again thinking that this would fix my startup problem. I now have two versions on my computer, "windows" the factory install and "windows.000" the version I installed. Now my sound card, modem, ms word, does not work. I have tried to uninstall windows.000 and I am told that I can not uninstall it. What can I do to remove windows.000? Everthin I read tells me that I can not remove windows.000 from my system.

scotphil -- doing the "typical" installation DOES ask you for the destination directory -- apparently supofele overlooked the destination directory question (which you CAN change -- I installed Win98 many times) It's definitely (and unfortunately) in his best interest to start from scratch -- scotphil needs to reformat his harddrive and start from scratch -- sorry to say!!
I dealt with this several months ago where someone did this and I tried everything under the sun to correct it -- but, I can't see how with two independent versions of Win9x on you system.
supofele - doing this will save you down time 'cause you're not going solve this -- (even if you did find some quirky way of getting Windows to work, you'll find many problems with other app's...at the very least).
Good Luck.
