I am repairing an old machine for a friend of mine and have corrected many of the issues that were existant, However i still have an issue with the C:
When in the Explorer window i see the tree on the left and the detail on the right, if i select the c: on the tree tehn all is well and the contents are displayed,
If however i select the C: in the detail window then i am confronted with a browse dialog and the error message “Windows cannot find setup.exe, this program is needed for opening files of type File”
I have checked my file associations and the local disk along with my documents and the likes are all set to open with Explorer.
I am reluctant to rebuild the machine with a fresh load of windows for two reasons:
1. There is personal data on the machine that my friend would liek to keep along with other programs.
2. It has annoyed me now that i cannot solve the problem so do not wish to give in to a re-build as i will then never know what caused it or how to resolve it in the unlikely event that i come across the same issue again in the future.
The machine has a 466Mhz Processor with 64MB RAM and running Windows 98
I appreciate any help that anyone can give me on this very annoying issue.
