OK, so I get this computer from my brother right- that was working earlier in the day, i hook it up and we try to get it going- but WALLA- my luck the computer is being a jerk... and not even going to the desktop. it doesn't load normally- it doesn't load in safe mode... and
nothing on the microsoft website helps me to fix/get into my newly inherited computer. I really don't know what to do- i've tried reinstalling numerous times and it doesn't work.. THis is the error i keep getting:
"Cannot find or load required file Krnl386.exe, file not found.
Press any key to continue..."
then i hit a key- and it turns off.
It's driving me

insane- and i know it's been driving my brother insane cause he has no idea why it just stopped working and he wouldn't let me go to sleep last night cause he was in my room working on it for hours. i don't know if he deleted a necessary file when he took his stuff off before he brought it to my place or what- but please... if anyone has ANY idea how to get my "new"old
Compaq WIndows 98 2nd edition computer running, I'd greatly appreciate it. and if you don't like doing these forums back and forth to fix the problem, I'll gladly give out my aim s/n.
