57549 2002-06-26 22:55:00 I have a computer here that comes up with a windows error message on boot up that states that the NW Shell cannot be loaded. On pressing OK the computer continues to boot normally. I have searched all the logical places, win and system.ini and the registry etc. I could not find any item that related to NW Shell.

On checking the bootlog.txt file it shows one .vxd that has not loaded. That file is indeed in the correct location.

NW Shell as far as i am aware is something to do with a network. This computer no longer uses a network and uninstalling all network devices and removing clients etc in windows does not resolve the problem.

The PC is running Win98 ( not SE or ME ).

How can i disable the network and remove all refernce to it?

57550 2002-06-27 00:57:00 have you double checked device manager to ensure no networking components remain (including a dialup adapter for any modems)? Also another thing, was the Novell client ever installed on the PC? as this doesn't always remove cleanly. the only real way to get rid of it is to use unc32.exe the comes with the novell client.

Cheers,

Novell was installed at some stage i assume. I have been thru and removed all network adapters including the Dial up adapter and then rebooted to see if that would help but still got the error. I'll see if i can find unc32.exe and try that.
