Hi, I had to reformat my c drive and then I re-loaded win98se. After the re-load, every time I double click on a text document, it says that it can't find the notepad exe? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Assuming notepad.exe is there it's probably just broken the association.
Click once on any .txt file
Hold down Shift and right click on the file, choose "Open With" (keep Shift pressed)
In the "Open with" window see if Notepad is listed if not click "Other" and find notepad.exe
Tick the "Always open with" box

I doubt if this is the problem since you just formatted and reloaded, but there's one virus /worm (QAZ) that replaces your Notepad.exe. You can read this page:
