computer info dos command image

I think I accidentally deleted some important system files. How can I get them back without redoing my whole computer? Is there any way to re-instal Windows without erasing everything on my computer?
I am running Windows 98 SE.
Answer
1) Make sure your Windows CD is in the drive.
2) From a DOS prompt, type the following line...
sfc /scannow
For more info and options on the sfc command, you may type...
sfc /?
NOTE: sfc is not necessarily available with all versions of Windows, and I don't have Win98SE here for testing. However this command is always my first troublshooting recourse before running Setup and doing a re-install.

How to make Oregon Trail 5th Edition compatible with Windows XP?
Sally Five
Or if it's already compatible then what am I doing wrong? I just want to play Oregon Trail! It was an old game I used to play when I was a kid and I still have the disc but now it doesn't work on ANY computers! My desktop at home is a Windows Vista and my laptop is a Windows XP. Any advice on how to get it compatible with either of those versions of windows will be fine.
Answer
I remember that old thing. For old video games like that you need to use an emulator so that the game thinks it's still in its old DOS operating system instead of windows. dosbox is a great emulator that i've used for several years. it's has a small learning curve.. basically just put the game where you want it, ex: C:\dosgames\oregon trail\ then when you start dosbox you would type
mount C: C:\dosgames\oregon trail\
then type C: to switch to that "drive" which is actually the folder you just mounted.
It sounds confusing but all the info is here and it'll work great. You can then use old dos commands, such as cd to change directory, dir -l to list the directory (see the files), or just type whatever the .exe is to get your game going. Good luck. :)
