I have a computer running windows 98se the prob that i'm having is that when i boot the computer to windows, first i get a message

"Cannot find a device file that may be needed to run windows or windows application. The windows registry or system.ini file refers to this device file, but the device file no longer exist."

tsiusb.vxd
press a key to continue

i can press any key and it will let me log to windows but is annoying to do that every time i'm booting the computer.. I try to delete the entry on the registry and still same mess appears.. and there is nothing on the system.ini Any help will be apreciate. Thanks

A .vxd file is a Virtual Device Driver. This is a file created by some application that was installed (either knowingly or not), and it's looking for this file. I did a search for that particular file, but found nothing helpful. But take a look at the installed programs, and try uninstalling any that don't look familiar. If you still want to use the application associated with this device file, try reinstalling that application to replace the missing file.

You could try to fool Windows into thinking it's there be copying and renaming another vxd file into the Windows system folder. For example, Anti-Virus programs will put various vxd files in their program folders. Copy one into the Windows system folder and rename it to tsiusb.vxd.Also, take a look at this link:

or

It outlines many vxd errors and provides links to various Microsoft articles for the appropriate resolution.

Ok, you could check the .CAB files on the OS CD (Use extract /a tsiusb.cab win*.cab (that may work, but check the options in the main file)

Also, dicd you check the system.ini file? It could be there.
