Check the handbook and/or the Help files - there is a method, short of reinstalling, 
involving deleting (after saving of course) a Preferences file and then re-opening 
Photoshop.

Also, if I am not mistaken Photoshop puts some files on the C: drive in Windows 98SE, 
directory 
"C:\Windows\ Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop" even if you installed on another drive, 
so your C drive failure would have wiped that out and you may have to uninstall and 
reinstall Photoshop completely.

Granted, this is just a trifle off-topic from your above plight.  Recently,
I noticed that every time I tried to use "gaussian blur", Photoshop would
crash.  I tried all of the other "blur" filtersand most of all the other
filters.  Everything was fine *except* for the "sinister" gaussian blur!
Finally, I just gave up and re-installed Photoshop ('twas version 6 for me).

I realize that this is not a blazing new revelation...but probably a good
practical suggestion as a starting point for your troubleshooting.

Joyfully,  -david soderman- <><
