Install Windows 98 over the top of Windows 98

This trick only works with Windows 98!

Occasionally Windows 98 will become too corrupted to use effectively. One possible solution to this is to do a fresh install of Windows 98 over the top of itself.

This process will not destroy any data on your computer.

1. Place the Windows 98 CD into your computer. If you have one, it is also a good idea to place the Windows 98 floppy into the floppy drive.

2. Turn off your computer and turn it back on.

3. Choose to start your computer With CD-ROM support - but do not select the option to Setup Windows 98.

4. The screen will eventually come to a C:>

5. Type in the letter for your CD-ROM drive - ie. D: or E:

6. Type in "setup /is /nd"
