Chickenlegs07,

MSCOREE is part of MS Office.  Just reinstall MS Office and that should solve that problem.

Follow these instructions to extract the rundll.exe file (and the rundll32.exe file if necessary):

Hope these instructions help.  Tony

In WindowsTo extract files in Windows 98 or Windows 98 Second Edition, use the System File Checker tool. To do this, follow these steps: 1.Click Start, and then click Run.2.Type sfc, and then press ENTER.3.Click Extract one file from installation disk.4.In the Specify the system file you would like to restore box, type C:\windows\system\rundll.exe.5.Click Start, click Browse next to the Restore from box, and then locate the Windows installation files. By default, in the OEM version of Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition the installation files are on the hard disk in the C:\Cabs or C:\Windows\Options\Cabs folder. With a retail full version or upgrade version, you can also insert the Windows installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, and then locate the Windows installation files. The folder is named "Win9x". For example, if your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is D:, the folder is named "D:\Win9x". For Windows 98, the folder is named D:\Win98.6.Click OK, and then follow the instructions on the screen. Cannot Start WindowsWhen you install Windows 98, you are prompted to create a Windows 98 startup disk. A feature included in the Windows 98 startup disk is support for CD-ROM drives. This may be of benefit if you have to extract a file from the Windows 98 CD-ROM but you cannot use System File Checker tool (for example, if your computer does not start properly).

Note The Windows 98 startup disk provides support for most types of CD-ROM drives, including IDE and SCSI CD-ROM drives, but it may not support your particular CD-ROM drive. Create a Startup DiskYou must have a Windows 98 startup disk to perform the steps in the following sections of this article. If you do not have one, you can create one by using any Windows 98-based computer where you have access. To create a Windows 98 startup disk, follow these steps: 1.Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.2.Double-click Add/Remove Programs.3.On the Startup Disk tab, click Create Disk, and then follow the instructions on the screen. Note If you do not have a startup disk or access to a Windows 98-based computer, you may be able to create a startup disk from the MS-DOS prompt on your computer. For additional information about how to create a startup disk in MS-DOS for Windows 98, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
186300 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/186300/EN-US/) How to Create a Windows 98 Startup Disk from MS-DOS for Windows 98
Extract Files by Using Startup DiskTo start your computer with CD-ROM support and then extract files, follow these steps: 1.Insert the Windows 98 startup disk into drive A, and then restart your computer.2.When the Microsoft Windows 98 Startup menu appears, choose Start computer with CD-ROM support.

Note If you purchased your computer with Windows 98 installed, the cabinet files may be installed in the C:\Cabs or C:\Windows\Options\Cabs folder. If these files are on your computer, you do not have to have CD-ROM support at this step, and you can extract the files that you must have from the folder on the hard disk. To do so, click Start computer without CD-ROM support, and then continue to step 4 without using step 3.3.Insert the Windows 98 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.4.

Type ext at the command prompt, press ENTER, and then follow the instructions on the screen.
