Thanks for your input Ed. I tried to follow all your instructions, however the shell32 brought up the following message: Shell32.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. DllRegisterServer may not be exported, or a corrupt version of Shell32.dll may be in memory. Consider using PView to detect and remove it. I have no idea what PView is and no idea if it would help me. I thought about copying that file from another win98 computer but since it's in use whenever windows is running that wouldn't work. I went ahead and installed the link you gave anyway and it didn't help though. Not sure if it's related to the shell32 but thanks anyway.
