If u r using WinXP, then u can boot from Windows XP Setup CD and select Repair Windows option.
It'll automatically restore the required files and will remain existing installed s/w.

He is running Windows 98.

You can run sfc (System File Checker) which will check the corrupted files and restore them from the windows 98 cabs.
