i need to delete the file ddraw.dll so i can replaceit with a non corupted 1.
the location is c:windows/system/ddraw.dll
how do i delete it in dos.
thanks
go into dos, if u don't know how then look later in this post. to delete a file in dos:
the hard drive has to be fat32 first of all, ok here is how to do it.
type: 'Delete C:\windows\system\ddraw.dll'
To access dos: make a dos startup disk by either creating one from add\remove programs in windows 98\me, or by downloading one by searching google for it.
y not just get the no currupt file and find the folder and overwrite the currup one :D
cant ecause it is permanently used by windows, but ill try what rossco said, ill report back in 5Quote:

The disc doesn't have to be Fat32, if it's NTFS, you can still delete the file.Quote:

For XP, it's "del file path"
alrite i got it to work, and now no error. funny thing is that "delete" c:/windows/system/ddraw.dll didnt work but erase c:/windows/system/ddraw.dll did.
anyway thanks for the help.
i believe the command was "del ..." and not "delete ..."
neway im a bit late posting but u cudda just used a wee little proggie called Replacer. it replaces system files that are currently in use. oh well mebbe next time ;)
