This is exactly the type of error I was getting, I was running Win98. I did some digging and ran the system file checker. Go to Start, Run, type in 'sfc' (do not use the quotes), click OK. The system file checker will scan the hard drive looking for corrupted files. When it finds them (one by one), you will be prompted to insert your Win98 CD-rom. But the files sfc needs should also be located in the Windows/Options/Cabs subdirectory. If you cannot find them, and you do not have a Win CD, write down the names of the missing files (select skip this file until the system file checker utility is finished); then find a friend who is running the same version of Windows, go to his computer, find those files and copy each one on a floppy (in fact, several or all of the files you need may fit on one floppy, depending on how many corrupted files you have). Then go back to your computer and do the sfc command again, and enter A:\name of file - when the system prompts you for the location of the Restore From source.
Hope this works for you; I found 7 corrupted files and restored them. Now my computer works great. Let me know if this works for you.
