My 9yr old son used paintbrush and severly modified the Windows supplied chess.bmp; I called my local vendor and they said I had to re-install Windows in order to get that file back. There HAS to be an easier way! Does anyone know how to rebuild chess.bmp from the installation floppies? thanks in advance joec@morgan.com

Look on your Windows diskettes for the file EXPAND.EXE and copy it to some convenient place on your hard disk. Then find the file CHESS.BMP on the floppies. With appropriate directory data, issue the command: expand a:chess.bmp c:\windows\chess.bmp As a check, the file on the distribution disk should be 28866 bytes, and the resulting file in the Windows directory 153718 bytes. You might also consider changing your local vendor if that's the support you're getting. Joe
