About splitting a file: I have used this program for years. It's called Gsplit and can be downloaded from here: http://www.gdgsoft.com/gsplit/

I would look at first disabling everything in start up with msconfig. I think version 1.4 would catch more bugs that Spybot S&D 1.3 and I would run F-Prot Dos version (free also and you can make floppys) to clean out viruses and such. A good boot CD should do the job, even the original Windows 98 SE was bootable and could get you going. After you finish, you should recomend the user not use such an old system on the internet, 98's full of holes.

That's spyware. Get thee to a spyware scanner. Microsoft's new one is good, as are Spybot and AdAware. Recommendations and links here: http://ask-leo.com/d-recommend and http://ask-leo.com/is_microsofts_new_antispyware_program_any_good.html

Hi Leo and thanx for the very helpful site.
I have a spyware infestation called "My searchbar" which cannot be removed in "Add or remove programs". What do I do?

I was kind of expecting that question ... many years ago I wrote a small program to split a file into floppy-sized pieces. Then I just use the COPY command in a command shell to concatenate them all back together into the original file. Yes, when I get a chance I will post both the tool and the instructions.

Thanks for this site. I appreciate all the helpful information. The first day I saw the site I actually thought you were Leo Laporte from Tech/TV, sorry about that.I posted a question related tp SP2 and said something about the Screen Savers. You answered the question and sent back an e-mail informing me of my mistake. Anyway I would like to ask you about how you got Spybot onto 3 floppy disks and how you used it in safe mode. Could you post an article with the specifics related to how this is done? Again I would like to thank you for this site and let you know that you are actually quite helpful.
