Hi I have just downloaded the above file from the
net, the reason being that when I try to open
my system information in windows 98 I get the error,that mfc42u.dll is missing. Now that I have it, could anyone tell me where and how to install it back onto my win98,,Iam fairly new to this stuff so I will need specific instructions.
TIA =)

PS I forgot to mention that Iam dual booting win98 and 2000.

The dll file belongs in c:\windows\system directory, assuming that c:\windows is the Win98 root directory. I not, substitute the proper drive letter and directory.

Before you install it, you might want to just check and see if an existing copy of the file is in the system directory. If so, it might be prudent to rename it to something like mfc42u.old, then install your newer version of the file, see if your startup goes ok, before deleting the old file, if you want to do that at all.

Good luck.
