I tried the batch file, but considering I'm not a computer programmer, I'm not sure if I'm writing it correctly. DAMN! This is the last piece of the puzzle too! Maybe I should just go with Emulaxian or some other frontend. These errors are pissing me off...

As I said, unistalling / re-installing won't do anything. Delete the \MAMEWAH\Files folder, and do the batch file thing, it's not difficult, you could copy/paste my post if your mame folder is the same...
In fairness it is about time I sorted the Win98 bug(s) out...it is a ---smurfette--- that I cannot replicate the problems tho :(

I've tried that. This is exactly what I did:
[*]Deleted C:\Program Files\MAMEWAH\Files
[*]Ran .bat file exactly like above
[*]Entered MAMEWAH to find that all games had been deleted and that I needed to re-setup everything including the emulator settings
[*]Exited MW after games had been refreshed
[*]C:\Program Files\MAMEWAH\Files is back!
[/list]
From this point, I can play games from MAMEWAH but if I shutdown or restart it does the same crap again. Is there a PERMANENT fix or is this something that would have to be done every time. If so, this definitely isn't going to work for me. LMK

OK you did right, but you need to run the batch file every time you start your PC - no big deal as you can just put it in your startup...The PERMANENT fix is to get XP - this is actually a Win98 bug not a MAMEWAH one (although it is possible to program around...)

c:
cd\mame
mame > temp
exit
Then run the batch file *before* MAMEWAH for the first time after boot-up.
A batch file is just a text file with .bat as an extension rather than .txt.
And you should *never* have to uninstall/re-install MAMEWAH...it won't make any difference. Deleting the \mamewah\files folder will remove any files causing problems.

Minwah -
I don't use MAMEWah, but I get the same type on error (actually RunTime Error 70: Permission Denied) when I try to use Johnny5 in Win98.
Do you think a similar idea would work for this?
Also, I understand some DOS (cd is change directory), but what does
mame > temp
actually do?
For details of my problems, see:

Thanks!

Thanks for the help MINWAH. I've got it working fine now but I think I've decided to go ahead and upgrade to XP. I don't like the feeling of having to run batch files behind the scenes to fix bugs. Thanks for the time...
