I am running Windows 98 and I want to make a boot disk for emergency re-booting. The command sub-directory under Windows has a program file called ‘boot disk’ which I have copied onto a floppy. But when I start the computer with this disk in A drive I get the “non system disk” error message and the computer will not boot. What must I do to get a functional boot disk? (more…)

In correcting something on my computer I appear to have wiped out an important file. When I attempt to open Winword or Word documents the message ‘xxx is not a valid Win32 application’ appears.

Can you help?
