Installable File Share Program

I accidently deleted the help file for Microsoft IFSP and now my computer
will not start up. When I turn it on, it notifies me that this file is
missing, but I am unable to do anything else. I have ran a Quick Restore
program twice on my computer, however, the problem was not fixed. Is there
anything else I can do to put this file back on???

There is no such thing as 'Microsoft IFSP' in Win ME (or any other Microsoft
OS that I can see).

What's the EXACT name of the file that can't be found??

Noel,

The OP is probably referring to ifshlp.sys.

Can you please follow up as necessary as I doubt I'll be around much for
the next couple of days? Having major problems in trying to recover data
here at present.

Emily54:

See MS KB258471 - "Error Message: The Following File Is Missing or
Corrupted: C:\Windows\Ifshlp.sys"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=258471 for a possible solution to the
problem including details of how to extract a new copy of ifshlp.sys.

I did wonder - no problem about the follow-up, Mike (I probably know your
boilerplate by heart, by now - or at least I should do!g)
