I seriously borked my computer. I need help getting it to run again. Let me explain the situation.
I'm running a computer with Windows 98 SE. I found an old MS-DOS game that I felt like playing, so I started it up. It told me I would have to restart in MS-DOS mode, so I did as such. When it restarted, it went to through the normal start-up stuff, then to the MS-DOS setup blue + gray screen (The screen you would normally set up what sound card and video driver you have are for DOS games). To my annoyance, it had none of these things, the template was right, with the blue boxes on a gray screen, but there was nothing else, except for in the top-left corner the phrase "ALL.ASK MISSING."
I thought to myself "Oh, shoot, it won't run. I guess I'll restart and forget about it." I did restart, and to my dismay, it returned to the blue + gray with ALL.ASK MISSING.
I tried again, hoping that it was just some fluke. No, it returned to that screen. I restarted several more times in a desperate, but futile attempt to get my computer working. Any idea what I can do, /b/?
