Make sure XP is set to view hidden files.

* Navigate to %systemroot%\system32 folder.
* Copy the wpa.dbl and wpa.bak files to the floppy diskette.

Reinstall Windows XP

* Reinstall XP in the normal manner. After the install is completed and the XP Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) appears where you'd normally activate the product, decline to activate and let the installation complete.

Activate the XP Reinstallation

* Restart the computer and use the F8 key to bring up the Advanced Boot Options menu.
* Select Minimal Safe Mode using Up and Down Arrow Keys and press Enter.
* Navigate to %systemroot%\system32 folder.
* Rename the existing wpa.dbl and wpa.bak files.
* Using the floppy diskette, copy the previously backed up wpa.dbl and wpa.bak files to the %systemroot%\system32 folder.
* Reboot the computer.

Edit:
Use xp antispy after completing the isntallation, and after anytime you do windows updates, service packs etc.

Does that really work? I have to get winXP since win98 only supports 512MB of ram and I plan on upgrading to 1.5GB.
