Replacing specific files when they are lost or corrupt

You can manually extract files from your Windows CD or IE

setup CAB files, which can be very useful when your PC tells

you KERNEL32.DLL or another system file has been corrupted.

Win98's System File Checker (SFC.EXE in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM

folder) can automatically fix some corrupted files for you.

But Win95 users can also make repairs using the DOS EXTRACT.EXE

tool (in the \WINDOWS\COMMANDS folder). Type EXTRACT /? from

a DOS window to view the syntax requirements and available

options for using this tool. For more detailed information,

Windows Files" at
