I was shtting my pc down for a reboot and as i restarted the pc...(running win98),i had a message: error starting program.........a required .DLL file.C:\windows\system\msvcrt. dll was not found. clicked ok.......and preceeded to log in.....and error message said.....error loading Eplorer.exe. you must reinstall Windows.

Have tried to restore,start in dos, and start in safe mode....can`t get past the error message......
i have a virus program in the system.....can i open from dos.....or is there a way to restore from dos....any help would be apprecaited.

Thank you ,
