I'm not going to write any programs that analyze Windows files, especially 98, because there are 6 major versions of Windows in circulation, and they all have multiple revisions of several thousand files. The database and time required to create such an application would be staggering.
98, 2000, and XP already have System File Checker (SFC), and any broken files in these operating systems can be replaced by performing an in-place upgrade (overlay) installation (also known as a repair install). If a third party program improperly removes critical system files, it is not the end-user's fault (you), it is the fault of the author of the third party software.

Dial-a-fix does not replace system files, but simply re-registers ones that are present (using regsvr32.exe).

If you are looking for a program to write – How about one the will analyze windows(I have 98se)files, that will install and or repair broken or missing files. I am a software freeware junkie and sometimes I get in trouble installing and uninstalling software, some of the programs will change or delete windows files and I have no idea what was corrupted or changed. I end up reinstalling from a second hard drive that I use to make a exact disk copy of the C drive. It looks Dial-a-Fix will most of this?

Thank you in advance,
Russ
