Hi diesel7778
First lets deal with with powrprof.dll error.
I think maybe the error was
If so see this microsoft article, Error Loading Powrprof.dll.
This applies to 98 but I think it may be your problem. If the article is hard for you to follow or doesn't work post again.
It may resolve the other issue, let us know.

Just a thought, if you can not boot up normally and are not able to run System File Checker as Microsoft advises. Try Booting up in safe mode. And then following Microsoft's advice. See Here for how to boot up in Safe Mode.
And when you manage to run SFC, you may as well extract WINSPOOL.DRV also. Winspool.drv belongs in the windows\system folder.

thanks for your help. However i've tried everything on your links and all the solutions and bascially my computer is a wreck but just until recently, it is nearly 5 years old maybe 4. so i was thinking to do a full hard disk wipe and re-install windowns me, done this before and it was great help. i've tried tis tonight but during the copying of files there is a sunwin error i think, and it aborts, so i was wondering if u could give me advice on wiping the disk then installing, as this has previously worked with a pro mate of mine who is no longer within touch! any solutions?

Hi diesel7778
Sorry to hear you gave up so easy. I'm not sure I understand the sunwin error thing. Anyway...
It probably overkill, but Kill Disk would certainly wipe your Hard Drive clean. After you erase the Drive you will have to Fdisk and format it. See Doc's Fdisk Quide.
And to install Windows ME, see Installing Windows ME. You may also want to see Paul Thurrott's SuperSite For Windows. I always like more than one opinion. You may also look thru the advice given here on Installing Windows 98
Hope it all goes well for you.

Of course you need your installation CD. And a boot disk. see bootdisk.com for a boot disk.so i was wondering if u could give me advice on wiping the disk then installing,
