My main XP system died from mobo processor failure, and I'm using my old 98FE box. Although slow with only 96MB RAM (less 8MB on board graphics) and a 400 MGHZ processor, it was doing pretty well. Suddenly, I'm being bombarded with errors when I try to install programs, and some programs that used to work don't work anymore. The errors are related to DLL's and OCX's either not being found, or unable to register. Some examples: "A required DLL file, GDIPLUS.DLL was not found." (a system search showed the file at %.net\framework\v1.1.4322%.) "Unable to register the DLL/OCX DllRegisterServer failed; code 0x80029C4A." I've tried manually registering DLL's, etc., to no avail. Is there any hope for this old box without a CD or floppy drive? System Restore has stopped working, too, though the recovery "D" drive seems intact.
