I'm assuming you're running Win 98 here.

Make sure your Windows CD-ROM's in the drive.
Go to Start/run, and type SFC.
Choose 'Extract One File From Installation Disk'.
Type rundll32.exe, not worrying about its location. Then, click Start.

Next to 'Restore From', type in or browse for the file’s location, which is probably in the Win98 folder of your installation CD-ROM (typically D:\Win98), or in your Windows\Options\Cabs folder, as the case may be.

Then, next to 'Save File In', enter, or browse to C:\Windows, and click OK. System File Checker looks for the file, saves it as you requested, and then tells you that 'the file has been successfully extracted'.

That should put things right.

Good luck!

I am running windows 98 SE but i dont have a windows 98 SE CD ROM i bought the computer used and it didnt come with any cds

Try a search for a folder called options

could be c:\windows\options
or
c:\options

many system builders put the installation files there. You will be able to extract it from there.
