Win98 wont start up

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

My computer running Windows 98 SE wont start up anymore. It says that
explorer.exe and comctl32.dll is missing and it freezes up, even though the
files are there. I can't reinstall Windows, either. I am utterly confused and
I have no clue what to do.

Boot up using the DOS boot floppy, move your valuable files to a safe
location, delete everything and reinstall.
