Anyway to rdi my computer of this annoying startup page? I enter through and everything works fine. I am wondering if there is a quickway to reload the files without reloading windows and losing all my configurations.
Thanks

Try the System File Checker. Go to a command prompt and type sfc and press enter. Have your Windows 98 CD ready.

Does it tell you what VXD is missing? This might have been put there by software that is now removed. I would try searching the registry (or possibly system.ini)for the VXD name and remove it. Just make sure you make backups before you change anything.

try a find on another computer (same config) and the copy the vxd file onto the computer you get the message on. Just make sure you copy to the same directory

Thanks for the answers. The solution for me...was to copy the file back into the Windows folder and rebbot. BTW, I got the file from another computer.
Thanks for the help, as I hope it helps someone else.
