Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Setup / August 2004Re-install Windows 98
Had to re-install win98. After setup is complete, the computer re-boots and it tells me that it is "building driver information database. After this, I get a white box error message that says "Error loading explorer.ese You must reinstall windows." When I close this window, I get another windows box error message that says "The explorer.exe file is linked to missing export MFC42.DLL:6662" At this point the computer freezes. I have tried to re-install several times but get the same error each time. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. what method did you use to reinstall? have you tried blowing away partitions by fdisking, formattting and then reinstalling by booting from the cd? my preference is to use the fdisk /mbr switch. then fdisk and delete any and all partitions and make a new one(s). format c: /s boot off the cd copy cabs to c:\win98se and run setup from that directory. just my .02 > Had to re-install win98.

You must have reinstalled over your old installation and in the process, you got mismatched versions of Explorer.exe and MFC42.dll. I suggest that you extract both of these from the original Windows CD and then if the system starts normally, reinstall or repair your updated version of Internet Explorer.
