Re: FLASH: OT: Windows "corrupted"

[p-h]

Hi Ben ! Doesn't look nice, does it ?

As a foreword - I have to keep Win98 due to some add-ons requirements...

SO, to answer your questions,  the "like Large Icons, Small Icons, and List"

options are still available, but NOT the preview column (which I miss most).


As stated previously, reinstalling windows didn't help :(


I sort of hoped an easy solution such as "go to that sub-sub-menu and set it

back to ...." or "go and pick up such-and-such patch/update on MS's

website" - one may have dreams :o)


Thanks for the feedback anyway - have a nice week-end

| Windows 98 - Oh dear : (

| Do you still have all the options like Large Icons, Small Icons, and

List??

| The preview column on the left??

| Thats the "view as web page" setting isn't it?

| BUT - If you find yourself unable to get them back by any other means, you

| know what the official way to fix Windows is, don't you?

| It starts with RE and ends with FORMAT : )

| Seriously though, if you do have to reformat and start again, do yourself

a

| favour and install Win95.

| I'm sure there isn't anyone that wouldn't agree it's a hell of a lot more

| stable than Win98.....
