Hi,

If your operating system (Windows 98) was loaded in the proper way, then your cab files are already on your hard drive. You just have to browse to the .cab folder. Do this by clicking on start, run, click browse, and browse to C:\ Windows\Options\Cabs. This will load any missing .cab files that you need.

Additionally, you can go a step further and select setup.exe from the .cab folder to reinstall Windows 98 without the use of a Windows 98 CD.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me via email.
