218279 2004-02-26 03:43:00 HI,I have win98SE on an ACER laptop-IE6-& it has problems on booting up.The fault finding I have done says I should Reinstall.Would I lose my Nortons Virus program.Any other problems I might have??.cheers rdee rdee (1809)
218280 2004-02-26 04:07:00 The best way I have found is to boot up the laptop with a DOS boot disk and go to C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\cabs. run setup.exe and this will do a repair install. You should not lose any settings or apps. It sounds like its getting terminal so I guess you have very little to loose paulw (1826)
218281 2004-02-26 04:18:00 your restore CD may have a function, restore without reformat. it'll reinstall windows, but keep all else Megaman (344)
218282 2004-02-26 07:40:00 apart from any programs that have been installed, as the folders are there but the registry keys are gone.

if it's a driver problem you could delete the enum key in the registry and do a reboot.

I agree with the folders/cabs but use the /is switch.
