Have system that I just changed the MOBO in and did not format the drive. Everything works except when it boots up it stops and says " A device file that is specified in the SYSTEM.INI file is damaged. It may be needed to run windows. You may need to run the Windows Setup again."(which I have done 3 times) The file is c:\windows\system\vmm32\ntkern.vxd. I have downloaded a copy of this file and replaced it and it still does the same thing. If i push any key it works just fine. Can I delete this file? If not what can I do???

Just run the registry edit program, how? Here is it: -

Click on START menu-> RUN-> type REGEDIT and press Enter key. The Registry Editor will come up. Press "Ctrl+F"-> type (in your case) 'ntkern.vxd' and press Enter. This will searcxh for this file and display it in the right box when found. Simply delete this file. Close the Registry Editor, Restart the computer and ... Enjoy.

Regards
