Those three are where the others said (in Win98SE)... Base5.cab, & they
all belong in "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS". It seems SFC knows where
they belong, & it also knows which specific .cab has them. You need only
specify which folder holds the .cab...
(1) "START button, Run, SFC"
(2) Bolt "Extract one file from installation disk"
(3) Enter "hidclass.sys" in the "Specify..." box.
Later come back for the other two.
(4) Click "Start".
(5) It should offer to "Save file in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS".
If not, make it so.
(6) In "Restore from", if not already pre-filled, browse to
(a) Installation CD (likely the Win98 folder) or
(b) The folder that has your cabs on the hard drive, likely
"C:\WINDOWS\options\cabs\".
(7) Click "OK"
(8) Repeat from step (3) for the other two.
If it discovers the file already exists, it will offer to back it up.
May as well do so. If it discovers the file is "in use", it will request
that you reboot to complete the install.
