i run both win xp and win98 se.

the machine was infected by a virus ( w95 ...spaces...somthing like that). so my win 98 se stopped working as it looks like the virus affects exe files and i had an error saying that my explorer isn't working and then it restarted.

my xp ran normally only all exe files didn't run....gave an error saying " .....isn't a valid win32 application" so i got mcaffea antivirus and it cleaned up the files

so the xp was workin fine and it was time to reinstall win98
...and thats what i did ... 3 times at least....

after it installs ...and runs for the first time ....i try running any program ...but it doesnt work

i didn't install a single driver (no sound ..a 16 color monitor)...and no new hardware

cleaned up the temp files ...windows washer

scandisked and defrag would take ages on a nearly full 80 gig harddrive....isn't there any other easier way... anyway, how does that help??

thanks for the info....

i'll defrag it tonight

however, i scaned again and i found that **** virus (w95. spaces) again

it was causing all that havoc

so i removed it ...most of the files are still damaged though

thanx again
