I get a message saying...error loading kernal, reinstall windows. (i haven't got a win cd)

I tried scanreg/restore in command promt, but no luck.

So is that finally it?? have i lost everything??

Yes and no. Hex-edit kernel32.dll and replace 'user9x.dll' with 'user32.dll' string.

Okay, simpler:

download kernel32.dll from one of those locations:

http://www.upload2.net/page/download/PvBN9...102222.ZIP.html

http://z13.zupload.com/file.php?filepath=47608

replace one in \windows\system with one you downloaded.

ok im able to reboot now ....so how do i uninstall revolutions safely??

can't find it in add/remove

no you can't. If you tried to uninstall it, it would revert back to RP 3.6. in other words, you are stuck.

no you can't. If you tried to uninstall it, it would revert back to RP 3.6. in other words, you are stuck.

But the other guys said if i install rp7 it will replace/repair rp3.6, and hence uninstalling would be safe.

if you uninstall rp7 it will restore the rp3.6 files that were the problem

the uninstall just means you dont have anything to lose if you install rp7 over 3.6

Surely they're must be someway i can get revolutions off my system??

If you haven't got a CD, it's going to be hard.

Get yourself a CD on eBay I would suggest.

After that you can restore all files modified by rev pack by hand.

hello again...

The fact that i have revolutions 98 installed on my pc, will that cause complications

if i ever do an upgrade to windows xp??

I don't think there should be a particular problem with having revpack and upgrading to XP.

Where you might have a problem is that you'll probably need a Win98 CD to put in the CD drive at some point of the XP install and I understand you haven't got one.

Don't expect marvels from XP though.

I have just finally installed in a virtual machine a full OEM XP Pro SP2 I bought almost a year ago, to do some stability, performance and security tests and I don't think I'll ever actually upgrade to that OS or newer from Microsoft on a real machine.
