You need to go in with a different OS which will not write to the disk. Windows has actually booted, but just says that ActiveX doesn't work? Are the missing files in one particular directory (My Documents?) or all over? Get a DOS floppy and explore. (If you haven't got an emergency boot floppy you can download FreeDos ... which might have a bootable CD image if there isn't a floppy drive). "C:\Windows\Desktop\My Documents" would be a good place to look. There are file recovery utilities around ... some have been listed here.	Graham L (2)
