Win98SE Installation problems (Win2k dual boot)
Hi,
I just added Win98SE to my Win2k system in a dual boot configuration. Win2k still works which is good since that is my primary system. The basic Win98SE works except for the network. During installation I got the usual "Unknown Device" errors, most of which were fixed when I installed the motherboard (Intel)drivers. After some initial issues installing the on-board Ethernet driver I was able to install it and the "?" no longer appears in the Device Manager screen. However, during boot up there is an error message about missing files such as vnetbios.vxd vredir.vxd msnp32.dll as well as problems with Microsoft Network. How do I reinstall the Microsoft Network part of Win98SE to clear up these errors? Also, will this affect the Win2k installation? TIA, -GB |

Win98SE Installation problems (Win2k dual boot)
Hi Ron,
Your suggestion helped, but not completely! I can now browse the web but I still get the error messages at startup (missing vnetbios.vxd, vredir.vxd, dfs.vxd as well as the msnp32.dll error dialog box). Also, the system is unstable. It often reboots after I close IE. It also sometimes hangs on reboot after the missing dfs.vxd message. Do yo have any further suggestions? TIA, GB "Ron Badour" wrote in message ...

Win98SE Installation problems (Win2k dual boot)
Hi,
As a followup, I used System File Checker to restore the 3 missing ".vxd" files and now I do not get the error message. I tried restoring msnp32.dll to the Windows\System directory but that did not get rid of the error box, probably because destination folder was incorrect. Any further help would be greatly appreciated. TIA, -GB "Ron Badour" wrote in message ...

The system folder should be the correct destination.

Win98SE Installation problems (Win2k dual boot)
Hi Ron,
Your last suggestions seemed to have done the trick. Removing and reinstalling "Client for Microsoft Networks" appears to have solved it. Thanks a lot, -GB "Ron Badour" wrote in message ...
