version conflict manager

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

Background:
For reason I don't begin to comprehend my computer (windows 98FE) suffered a
complete nervous breakdown after running a thorough scan disk. (About a
year ago I had a new 40 GB hard drive installed and while I've run scan disk
numerous times this was the first time I had run a "thorough" scan disk) It
would no longer boot into windows and since it was beyond my limited
expertise I took it to be repaired. Windows was gone so the technician
using my HP recovery disc put it back to the way it had been when first
purchased. He was able to save some data and I have been slowly trying to
reinstall software, updates and other data. Whatever the problem was it
does not appear to be related to any virus. I'm running Norton antivirus
and Kerio Personal Firewall. Neither picked up on any problems prior to or
after the breakdown.

Just a week ago I legally acquired a Windows 98SE upgrade. I installed it
and things appear to be working fine although I've not had time to
thoroughly tested every program or function. Anyway, I've not run into any
major problems yet.

Question:
I've noticed when I run the Version Conflict Manager I have about 21 items
that show up as having more recent versions prior to installing Windows 98
SE than after. Many are .dll files but some are .exe and .ocx. Would it be
advisable to restore the newer versions or should I leave well enough alone?
Here are just a few examples of the items:

asycfilt.dll 2.40.4518.0 (backup) 2.40.4275.1 (current)
cabinet.dll English(United States) no version # given for current or
backup
cscript.exe 5.6.0.6626 (backup) 5.0.513.7 (current)
grpconv.exe 5.02136.1 (backup) 50.1962.1 (current)
indicll.dll English(United States) no version # given for current or backup
msconv97.dll 2003.1100.5426.0 (backup) 1998.1.27.0 (current)

I am definitely a novice so would appreciate any help or suggestions!
Please remember who you are talking to and make it plain and simple!
Thanks!

Easy choice, don't break what isn't broken. If you have no problems, leave
it alone.
