21991	2001-10-19 21:56:00	Without the help of third-party software, pre-windows ME (so, win3.11, win94, win98, win2k) have no system restore.	Guest (0)
21992	2001-10-20 02:09:00	I think we have a terminology problem ... 'restore: or 'reload'? If it's reload, for W95, if you can boot DOS, and read a CD, cd <drive containing the CDROM>, and 'setup'. Or boot the first of the W95 floppies, and follow the instructions ...	Guest (0)

If you don't know then if i do find it in any website i look at, would you be interested? would you like me to tell you?	Guest (0)

21995	2001-10-21 02:57:00	... and for W95, there is the 'expand' programme which runs under dos, to pull files out of the *.CAB files. (Try expand /?) and find out how to get a listing of all the files in all the CAB files (redirect the command to a file ' > \W95files.txt ' so you can find what you need.	Guest (0)
