try this start-settings-control panel-add/remove- windows setup tab-accessories-paint put a check in the box and click ok. you might need to put your 98 cd in for it to install it. godspeed

What you can do is get mspaint.exe from another computer...if that computer is using win98, then mspaint.exe should be in c:\program files\accessories\ file...when you get the mspaint.exe, you may also need some dll files. when you run it, it will tell you. So you can write down the dll files that are missing and find it using the find menu on the computers that you obtain mspaint.exe. put all the files in c:\program files\accessories\ and you should be all set.

Answer number one is the best, you do need your win 98 disc to do it
