Help, I deleted dial-up networking ...

Hello,

Let me start by saying that I am not very good with PC's!

While following trouble shooting instructions, I deleted my windows 98
dial-up networking. When I went to install, it asked for the Windows
98 second edition disk. The disk is in one of about 100 boxes in my
basement (I just moved).

Can I use the Windows 98 Second Edition Dial-Up Networking 1.4 Upgrade
from the Microsoft site? Or will I need to spend the next week
digging out the disk first?

Is the upgrade complete or does it only contain the modified files?

Thanks in advance,
Mandy

Just for your information...many people don't realize that on many PCs, the
original installation usually includes the CABS from the Win98 SE CD on the
hard drive so you may not really need the CD. I would check in your
C:\Windows\Options directory and see if there are a bunch of cabs.
Sometimes it's in the C:\Windows\Options\Cabs directory. When the
installation asks for your disk, point it to this directory instead and it
should work.

Now...if it is some kind of custom installation, or not directly from the
manufacturer, it may not be there.
