We're talking 95/98/SE here, I hope. I usually just boot to DOS when
the operating system starts to load (by pressing F8 or holding the
Ctrl key down (although I've never found a machine that would show the
startup menu when holding the Ctrl key down)), or use the Emergency
Boot Disk. If you use the Emergency Boot Disk you'll have to have the
BIOS boot order set to check the 'A:' drive first. After the OS
loads, run F-Prot by either typing in the full path and filename or
changing to the drive\directory on the CD where the latest copy of
f-prot.exe is located.
