Can't load windows, Can't get into safe mode and can't reinstall windows.
Help! I can't get windows98 SE to load. I can't get into safe mode or reinstall windows. A little history first. I had an issue with my creative sound card. EMM386 not loading along with something that had to do with the sound card. I went back and forth with creative tech support to resolve the issue. No luck. I then was trying to clear all the problems in the device manager when I accidentally deleted something. When I start the computer (And in safe mode) I get up to my wallpaper and then get "a required DLL file, MSVCRT.DLL was not found". Then it says windows must be reinstalled. I have reset the register to an earlier date. Tried SCANREG and get this... "there is not enough free conventional memory to check a drive. you may need to remark (rem) some device drivers from your CONFIG.SYS file or in CONFIG.SYS you may need to load the EMM386.EXE driver to load your other device drivers into upper memory blocks using devicehigh= statements". Tried to reinstall windows from the start up disk (D:\setup) when I then get "windows setup requires "largest executable program size" to be at least 442368 bytes to run ". I have found five (5) files in the win98 disk for the MSVCRT.DLL file and quite a few for the EMM.386 file. How do I reinstall the DLL/ EMM386 files from the win98 disk to my hard drive? At this point I just want to get back in to the disk to get my files and stuff off so I can wipe it clean and start over. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
