Right, here is the last word (almost).
I eradicated IE6 in the way I was advised. Then I copied win98 folder
from CD to HD. Then I ran setup. It took ages but it worked. There
were dozens of files not found during the setup so there might be
another chapter later.
When I re booted it wanted to carry on with the Tiscali install so I
let it. While it was online it faltered a lot. So I pulled out and
created a connection to www.adial.com as I had been advised in the
first place. ntlworld didn't like mu email address and password so
didn't let me in but I expect that it was the wrong case or something.
Here's the real anguish. I have had a phone call explaining to me what
RAS is. It's a commercial program used by many big names in the UK
(Bank of Scotland, Virgin, Tesco, etc) to create a dialer pad on
screen which is supposed to make access easy. In spite of Tiscali's
protests I am told that it is Tiscali's attempt to create this dialer
that has caused the damage and that probably the O/S was never
corrupted before hand.
On the up side, if this is so then my backup is ok.
Many thanks for a help in need.
Colin
