I know how to fix that.
but it would take me way too long to explain it.

just reinstall windows, or do a cabs reinstall.

if your a home installation of win98, then it more then likely wont work. Some computer distribute win98 with a seperate CABS folder in c:\windows

check and see.. c:\windows\options\cabs\setup.exe <- this will reinstall the core, will muck things up though - I suggest backing up and reinstalling.

the .exe shell is corrupted, it's pointing to another file, you need to change the .exe association back to command - you can do that through explorer's options "file types"

shit no quick fix for this i guess huh

'c:\windows\options\cabs\setup.exe' wont run cause its an exe
and the application EXE in "file types" wont let me edit or remove it/so theres the problem

fixing the cabs seems like it will take a while and that page is all about internet browsing and that doesnt seem to be a problem
correct me if im wrong there.
