My client uses a Toshiba Satellite 2100 CDT notebook running Windows 98. Recently, every time when she starts the computer, a message "Cannot find the file MSVXD.EXE (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available." appears.

After she clicks OK, she can run Windows without problem.

Does any one has any idea about this error message and how can this be fixed?

Make sure all the service packs and updates are done on the system. Try disableing this thing in the startup. The system may be trying load it up twice, nad it can't. This could be why it will run fine after you "pres return [the system is summoning the "MSvxd.exe" twice]. Disable it in the startup file!.....Go Start, run, MSconfig, select the Startup tab and search for that EXE. disable it, reboot and see what happens.
Good luck!
