48751 2002-05-13 22:33:00 Hi all, I am running win 98 SE and struck a prob. I was uninstalling a program on my brothers comp and inadvertintly deleted 2 files that I shouldnt have. Is there a way to recover these files or a way to find out which program uses them. reinstalling the app didnt help. the files are:

gckernel.vxd
msgamio.vxd

I would appreciate any help here. The comp refers to these files on start-up. the comp works ok but for the error message on start-up.
thanks

If you still get the error messages when boting, have a look through the win.ini file and remove references to these two files or try reinstalling the sidewinder software. Guest (0)
48753 2002-05-13 23:58:00 Hi Gary, both these files should be on the MS Sidewinder Gamepad version3.0 cd but if you dont have it anymore they can be found at www.driverguide.com. You will have to register and wait for a username and password but it is free and they don't pester you with unsolicited mail. When you have logged in do a keyword search on the 1998-2000 database using each of the driver names and there they are for downloading.
