I have tried using the Windows 98 SE "System File Checker" and it
occasionally asks when scanning for altered files to restore corrupted
system files (e.g. *.dll's, etc.).

1) Should I put in the Win 98 SE CD and let it do it's thing?

2) Will this do any damage to my machine? It does give me the "blue screen
of death" occasionally...

3) any other advice on using "System File Checker"??

Ignore any messages about "user.exe" and "setup.dll", this is a bug in Win98
SFC. It's so long since I've done it not sure if it's maybe "user.dll" and
"setup.exe".

Unless you are having trouble with something, then I wouldn't automatically
do that. SFC can sometimes flag legit files as corrupt, merely because they
are newer versions not identified properly. This has happened with IE
updates many times.

If you think it may be related to the error, then yes you can try it, but
always opt to back up the file you are replacing, and note it's location.

Yes. Don't use it.
