    FINAL RESOLUTION

    Thanks all you folks for all the finger tapping.
    I eventually copied msimg32.dll into the root folder of the programs
    that wouldn't run.
    Voila!, back to normal.

    I got it from:
    KernelEx v0.3.6 formerly Kernel Update Project, Copyright (C)
    2006-2008, Xeno86
    Original WIN98UPDT0001 by (x) 2005/2006

    a prog to allow win XP progs to run in win 98

    Thanks again
