OFF2000: Differences Between Repair and Reinstall
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
Both Office and Windows 98 include a tool called Microsoft System Information (Msinfo32.exe). This tool can be used to gather information about your computer, to diagnose problems, or to access other tools that are included with Windows 98. For example, if you are having display problems, you can use the System Information tool to determine what display adapter is installed on your computer, and view the status of the drivers.
