Hi. I am running either windows 98 or windows 98SE. I am having a problem opening a program (Ares Lite Edition, and playing files on WMP). I keep getting a "required .DLL, DDRAW.DLL was not found". What can I do? I am new to all this.

This sounds like a problem with DirectX which is used for multimedia type things and games. Go to http://www.windowsupdate.com and follow the prompts to see if you have any updates for your PC. If DirectX isn't listed let me know and I'll find a link to somewhere you can download it to reinstall.
