For example, if the drive letter that is normally assigned to your CD-ROM drive is D, type E in the command. NOTE: If you have an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) installation of Windows Millennium Edition, the Windows installation files may be stored in the following location: C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\INSTALL To extract the file, type the following line, and then press ENTER: extract /a C:\Windows\Options\Install\win_10.cab comctl32.dll /l c:\windows\system (note the above is all one line - starting at 'extract, ending in 'system') Remove the Windows startup disk from the floppy disk drive, and then restart your computer. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm . . . |
