But I want to start everything over from scatch, I did what you said before, and it didnt seem to really do too much. I was told to back up anything I wanted because I would lose all my files in the computer

Are you talking about deleting windows altogether? If so then you'd have to delete the folder in DOS and start the computer with the win98 boot disk.
