thanx, Lai.
i proceed installing winpatrol prior to running
the 'enable.reg' - to disable some virus residing in the
memory. After disabling the virus, all my w98's
application failed to open. So i have to re-install my
w98se. Now things are ok.

thanx again.

This is the complete "fixreg.reg" which will restore usage of
executables as well as the "enable.reg" posted previously.
IIRC the blank line at the end is significant.
