Win 98SE .exes linked to non existant exe file. I'm running a P3 500mhz w/ 256mb ram. All .exe pgm won't start. error message indicates that a hrocpyshd[?].exe does not exist. said file is not in cabs or on 98SE install disk. There is no reference to this file on Microsoft site. MS Outlook starts & allow IE 5.+ to start. Short of re-imaging HD, any ideas on how to cure/fix this error.

Thanx Gavin, I'd already tried your idea prior to your message. Turns out to have been a destructive Subseven trojan. It blew right past zonealarm & NAV 7.3CE. I saved all data & cleaned the system, but still no .exe's would run. Glad I spent the time fumbling thru Ghost. The image worked perfectly, but I would rather have not had to find out. Cheers.
