What's the file's name and where do you believe it should be located? What
is the exact error message you are getting? -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "kaysue75" wrote in message ... every time I start my computer I get a message saying there is a file missing needed to run window properly.

I found it in the McAffee folder. I tried repairing, uninstall & reinstall.
It hasn't helped. It is something like cyberm~mapieng it tells me it is missing a file that may be needed to run windows properly. I have to hit "any" key a few times before it will load windows.

If McAfee has recently detected and quarantined a virus then it's possible
that you need to go through a proper removal process. Did the message start appearing about the time that McAfee told you it had detected something? Can you get to the McAfee logs to see if there's a clue to what happened? It's quite possible that attempting to find and re-activate this file will enable the virus to attack your system. Or, you might simply need to re-install an application. The exact file name is critical to determining the next step. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "kaysue75" wrote in message ...
