Re: System Errors! Can anyone help please
Hello Marye
Thank you for your response. I am running on Win98. I have anti-virus software. Nonetheless, I went to housecall and run the scan - no viruses were found. Anyway, I will see how it goes. I will have to brush up on my MSDOS to remove the files - can't remember the commands!
