Tim,

Did you try extracting a copy of the file?

Extract a copy of the Wininit.exe file.

a. Click Start, click Run and type MSCONFIG in the line and click OK.

b. Click the Extract File button.

c. Type "C:\WINDOWS\wininit.exe" (without the quotation marks) in the box
and click

the Start button.

d. In the Restore from box type C:\WINDOWS\Options\Install or browse to the
Win9x

directory on your Windows Me CD-ROM.

NOTE: If the C:\WINDOWS\Options\Install folder doesn't exists, please put
your

Windows Me install CD to your CDROM and click the Browse button, and then
browse to

the folder X:\win9x, where X is the drive letter of your CDROM.

e. Click OK and follow remaining prompts.

Test whether the problem persists.
