Everytime I startup, I see the starting windows but then it says that i am missing vnetsup.vxd and dfs.vxd. i don't know what these files are but it says that it's connected to the sys.ini file. can you help me. The windows startup will still start normally. but i'm afraid that eventually it will do something to my computer. thanks.

These device files are for the modem or a network. Click Start, run and type sysedit and press return. This brings up the editor with Autoexec.bat, Config.sys, System.ini, Win.ini.
Close the three inner windows of config.sys autoexec.bat & win.ini. Click search from the menu and find. type the filename 'vnetsup.vxd' and click next. If found then put a semicolon at the start of the line. Otherwise run regedit and search for the files. Backup first by click on registry, export and type 'backup'. If you find the filenames here then delete the item from the righthand pane. Good luck!!

Hi

The reason you are getting these messages is that network components setup is not completed or there are damaged files.
Remove the network then install it.You may need windowsand your network disks.

Start->Settings->Control Panel->Network
or in the desktop right click on (Network nieberhood, My Network Places ect depending on your OS)-> properties

select a component-> Remove->OK->Yes for restarting your computer.repeate this to remove all components.

Start->Settings->Control Panel->Network->Add->Client->Add->select microsoft-> microsoft client -> ok -Yes for restarting your computer.
Repeate it for the other components such as protocol, dial up networking ect.install only the needed component.

Good luck
