I’m not too sure about what to do.
My box is busted. Well, Windows 98 needs a re-install. Now. I have a few options.
1) Format (Dunno how/what/where to do) use the boot disk (Which crashed on me last time..) and re-install that way. But I don’t have a Win98 disk, I have 2 “Master Cd’s” which Packard Bell kindly gave me (grr..) So, I don’t think this option is good, although if you know how, prove me wrong.
2) Use smart restore. I have never used this, and want to know how it works, what it does and if anyone has used it before. I want to know if this will fix my box, or will it just like “Help” it a bit. But not actually doing anything.
Right, I know my box needs a re-install because..
Anything that I download from the internet, like WinAmp won’t work. Not even a Quake 2 demo would work. Hmm, something’s wrong.
Norton has totally crashed and burned on me. I tried re-installing it from the “Master Cd” but no good. It crashes when I run, then the whole system locks up, and I have to re-boot.
Disk Defrag and other important System tools are becoming broken. Etc.
Now, when I re-installed last time, I lost all my internet connections and stuff. I’m on BT, so if I put the whole BT folder on a floppy will it still work? Last time I had loads of trouble, I had to pay for like 2 connections and everything, a nightmare. So, I already have my account and the number to dial so even if it didn’t work (The floppy on BT thing) could I just set up a new connection using the details that I recorded?
Thanks in Advance. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Please helpy helpy a poor bloke!
Cheers :o)

Just take down your ISP details (number, user:pass, etc..) and re-input them when/if you re-install.
Using the Packard Bell disks (smart restore, emergency disk etc...) is extremely simple. All you have to do is either put the disk in the floppy or run the program. It's 100% impossible to go wrong.

Wow, I see the light, that highly technical answer from Dr. Sniper, the PC genius must be really helpful to you gazzy..
James, you really have a talent for stating the obvious.
The way I see it - if it destroys your data, it's working!
*Frightened*
