I have Windows 98 second edition. Just recently when windows is loading it
gives an error popup; A required DLL file -- DDRAW.DLL -- was not found.
Do you have a suggestion?
Windows seems to operate as usual, but I really don't know what this file
does and how to resolve this problem.

My Response:
Click Start -> Find -> Files / Folders and type in the DLL file name.
The result should come up with a folder that the DLL has been installed to
-- this should give you an indication what the program is for.
After that, you can attempt to uninstall the program from your system
through the Control Panel, Add / Remove programs. Once it's
uninstalled, you can reinstall the software in hopes of removing the error
message.
If that doesn't fix it, get jv16 Power Tools from jv16.org and run the
registry editor to manually remove the program from your registry, and then
reinstall.
