Sounds like you have (or did have) a firewall installed. Tiny Personal Firewall has a file of this name. If you uninstalled the firewall app it did not remove the entry. Try this:

Boot to Safe Mode.
If the program is installed, uninstall it.
Ifyou had previously uninstalled it, uses SysEdit (click Start->Run and type sysedit), go to the system.ini file and look for an entry with fwdrv.vxd. Remove the entry.
Save everything and reboot normally.

or

If the program was installed and isnow messed up and you want to keep it installed boot to Safe Mode and reinstall it. Then reboot normally.

Enjoy,
