So here's the scenario:

2 Dell Inspiron laptops (3500 and 5000) running Windows 98 SE all of a sudden just went beserk. on bootup it says "suspend-to-disk" file is missing. Not only that when you get into Windows none of the programs work anymore (seems the dlls got all messed up somehow. One of the computers said that the service profile needed to be reinstalled. It also somehow set the computer's Internet Explorer Version back from 5.5 to 5.0
This is the absolute strangest thing that has happened. It also deleted the TCP/IP Protocol for the NIC card. so I had to set those back up to access the server. anyone had something like this happen and I'm wondering if it's a virus. so far only 2 computers have had this problem. Any help would be great thanks alot.
