My Packard Bell Win98 came with MS Works 4.5 pre-installed,and for
reasons unknown, some of the functions are not longer working. when I
attempt to reinstall it with the setup.exe file, located in the MS
Works folder, it ask me to insert the MS Works cdrom. The only disk
that I have that came with this pc is a Packard Bell Companion CD disk
and the Master Recovery Disk. The Companion CD contains the initial
Win98 installation files. I upgraded to Win98 SE (have that CD disk
also)sometime ago. Which one of these disk would I go about locating
the necessary re-installation file(s) and how would I go about it? I
don't want to reinstall the entire system, just the MS Works
application. Any help is greatly appreciated

OK it is the wrong group.

When the program asks for the install CDROM just try each disk in turn, the
program will find the right files. It might be an idea to remove all traces
of Works & then reinstall from scratch (once you've determined the correct
disk).
Mike.
