"Now the question is is there anyway to get into my PC cos i want some of the files that were there (documents, media files) Can that be done in anyway?"
I shared how at http://tips.oncomputers.info/archives2004/0401/2004-Jan-11.htm Just boot your KNOPPIX CD and drag/burn your files to CDR.
As to your issue, are you still debating what ANTIVIRUS to get?
The last I read, you might not have had any.

First of all i cant access my computer (the one i am currently using to write this message is at my college)
anyway the problem is that i can switch on my PC, but when i come to the Windowns Log In screen i get an error message saying "A required .Dll file, C:\Windows\System\Shlwapi.dll, was not found. I then click ok and type my passowrd (or click Cancel) a white window pops up saying "Error loading Explorer.Exe You must reinstall windows".
Now the question is is there anyway to get into my PC cos i want some of the files that were there (documents, media files) Can that be done in anyway?
If not what has to be done, an FDISK? and then the installation of windows (I am using Windows 98 SE)
Please help
Thank You
