When I boot my laptop to WindowsMe I get an error message stating that an application is missing that's using the file c:\windows\system\aspienum.vxd
Does anyone know how to fix this error. Thanks in advance.

Looks like you deleted a program and it left a hanging file. I would make a copy of aspienum.vxd...Using START>FIND then delete it and reboot.....I think this will take care of that. I am assuming that everything else (ie. programs) are working correctly

This is what I do if all else fails. Back up the Registry. How ever you choose. I just copy the C:\windows\user.dat and system.dat file to the same directory and rename them. Then I go in and search the registry for the file that is getting the error and delete its entry in the registry. Then reboot. If you find more then one entry in the registry delete them one at time and reboot after each deletion. Keep in mind that this is my last ditch effort to remove the error at boot. If you have removed or installed a program lately try installing or it again and then remove it with an uninstall program like add/remove programs in the Control Panel.
