re: How do I reformat and reinstall Win 98 without losing settings Saturday, August 28, 2004 at 4:20 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Franklin (540 messages posted) Haven't tried this myself but comes from a reputable source. You can restore your Win98/98 SE OS by using the PCRESTOR.BAT file found in the \Tools\Sysrec subfolder on the Windows 98/98 SE Setup CD-ROM. To use it: open Windows Explorer or File Manager (FM = C:\Windows\WINFILE.EXE) and (double)-click on Pcrestor.bat. This will copy Msbatch.inf to the newly created C:\Restore folder, and then it will run Setup.exe unattended, which will reinstall the OS over your existing copy, thus repairing a possibly damaged system. This little puppy works a treat when you're getting corrupted/missing *.VXD errors, especially if overclocking your PC."
