I can not open Control Panel,My Computer,Recycle Bin, My
Documents,and folders on my desktop that i have short cuts
too. I can access Add-Remove Programs, but only from the
short cut in the windows Help file. Also, in order to
access many folders, I have to use the "Run"
command,open "Winfile",and go from there.Anybody no whats
going on? I thought it might be a virus,although Nortan
2004 failed to anything up......HELP!

Extract  a new copy of RUNDLL32.EXE from either your Windows 98 CD or from the CAB files on your hard drive, whichever you have, to the Windows folder, using the "Extract one file" option of System File Checker (SFC).
