As this is 2k forum, wondering if you want to reload 98 over 2k. If so, you will need to backup, do a clean install and reinstall apps/restore data - unless you did a 98 to 2k upgrade, didn't upgrade to NTFS and checked the option to save current (ie, 98) settings. In this case you should be able to uninstall 2k from add/remove programs (though you may end up having to do a clean install...)
If you currently have 98 - and are having problems - so want a fresh 98 on top - please post in the 98 forum (forum615).
