I bought an old computer(99) that was never used(Compaq).
When I turn it on, the Windows 98 logo appears for a few
seconds and then it jumps into a DOS screen. It says that
a file is missing that is needed. Reload Windows. I have
a Windows 98 startup disk, but not being very versed in
DOS, I have been unable to use the right DOS command to
restore. This pc wasn't set up with DOSSHELL. Any
suggestions?

thanks
