I see Glee has posted a number of articles. Thumb through them, & stick
with him. You SHOULD have a IFSHLP.SYS in C:\Windows, though, even in
Win98...
IFSHLP.SYS
Type: System file
Loc: C:\WINDOWS
Size: 3,708 bytes
Mod: Friday, April 23, 1999 10:22:00 PM
That is old enough (in Win98SE) never to have been modified by an
update. So, extract it with SFC.
(1) "START button, Run, SFC"
(2) Bolt "Extract one file from installation disk"
(3) Enter "IFSHLP.SYS" in the "Specify..." box.
(4) Click "Start".
(5) It should offer to "Save file in C:\WINDOWS".
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"
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.
