A computer was given to me by this lady who's husband died. It was fine
until we started using it more. started having general protection faults,
then fatal exception warning, then working in some of the applications
illegal operation errors. Go to maintance and it wants the windows cd but
the lady didn't have it or know where it was. I used to have one form our
last computer but I think my boyfriend throw it away. So without the cd I
can't fix any of these problem? It asking for the cd because it wasn't
finish installing some of the files. HELP PLEASE!!!

Sometimes the W98 files have been written to the hard drive. Do a find on:
win98_24.cab and if found, note its location on the drive. Then when the CD
is called for, browse to that location. If they are not on the hard drive,
then you are out of luck. You can try to pick up a used copy of W98 on
EBay. If you have a Compaq or HP PC, then you are probably totally out of
luck since both PCs use customized versions of W98.
