[dba-Tech] Win 95 problem

Already done that! I don't want the spanking that would go with losing
everything :-)

Thanks though

Since this is a one of PC/software, before you do much else, I'd suggest
that you image the hard drive (to a CD, network drive or separate HD),
so that no matter what else, you can always restore it to the way it
currently is.

Heh :-)

I haven't checked for a virus yet - just ran scandisk and defrag,
they're
both ok. I'll try and find a floppy disk somewhere and put stinger on
it.
I've not checked for spyware as it's not on the network - so no
network
drinves :-(

I'll try that as the last resort then, thanks!

Oh the joys of Windows 95 ;o).  It almost sounds as if you were hit by

some kind of virus. 

a) have you checked for viruses on this pc?
b) have you checked for spyware on this pc? (spybot or adaware)
c) you can re-install windows 95 OVER your existing install and it will

replace the missing files, but won't overwrite any of the possibly 
infected ones.
