Re: There's got to be a better way.... (FRUSTRATED)

Recently.... I have been having issues with various DLL files that will
basically paralyze my sytem for weeks at a time. It is really getting
to me. I know I use an older operating system (Win98se) and I do enjoy
downloading and trying new programs but in past years I have never had
these issues.

And... anytime any of these issues occur, virtually all of the programs
that come packaged with Windows NEVER seem to work. Whether or not its
SCAN-DISK, sacnreg /restore, scanreg /fix ... etc... etc... they never
seem to get the job done.

Perhaps there is a utility out there, one that I'm unaware of, where
you can GO BACK to before you installed the software and restore the
computer to that point. I know XP has that feature, or so I'm told, but
is there any program, maybe even a 3rd party app that can help you do
that with Win98se.

I am so damn frustrated here. Yes... I have made some rather poor
decisions in my PC life but there has to be a better way of restoring
DLL files that, where even one of them, will paralyze a system and
render it useless.

Is there... perhaps a program/CD/floppy out there that will enable
someone to replace these missing DLLs without having to reinstall the
whole operating system? I lost my Windows98se CD... but can't you get
just the DLLs and put them back on your system?

I am sorry for ranting here. I am just so sick and tired of having no
computer for weeks at a time because of one or two missing files. I
know I have to change some of my ways, but when I DO goof up.... It
would be so great to have something there to help fix the problem
without going through hours and hours of trial and error.

Thanks so much guys... for all of your help.

Norton Go Back will do what you want and works with Win98.
