46585 2002-05-01 01:49:00 I reinstalled my computer.(98 first edition)
Then I tried to install the network card, just bought. Then is said
that it couldn't find some files. I didn't think it was much. But now
when I start the computer it says in dos

'can not find a device file that may be needed to run windows or a
windows program or a windows application

The windows registry or system.ini file refers to this device file, but
the device file no longer exists.

If you deleted this file on purpose, try uninstalling tge associated
application using it uninstall program.

If you still want to use the appiclation associated with this device
file, try reinstalling that application to replace the missing file.

Vnetsup.vxd
Vredir.vxd
***.vxd'

I tried to reintall the driver, by deleting the card in network and in the
system part in the conrol pannel. But it said that it couldn't find a file
insert the windows cd, which I already had in. The 'copying files' part
of the installation said it was copying them from c:/windows/system

Also when windows starts, it comes up with a window saying

Window Networking
Unanble to load the dynamic link libary
nsnp52.dill
The system can not find the file specified
Some or all of the following is not avalaible
-Microsoft Network

P2 333
Tnt2
10/100 networkcard
56 k modem


Please help if someone knows before I try to reinstall again!

46586 2002-05-01 06:23:00 Windows is looking for some files to finish the instalation of your network card.

They are probably on the floppy or CD that you should have got with the card.

Try running 'add new hardware' from control panel, and let windows search for the hardware. Then when it tries to load the drivers you can say 'have disk' and direct it to your driver disk.

The drivers disk may have drivers for other operating systems, as well as 98, so make sure you direct it all the way to the 98 folder on the disk.

Come back if you have no luck.

46587 2002-05-01 09:26:00 Search for the missing file. If you can't find it - try to reinstall. If you can, you can manually point system.ini to it.

Goto Start>Runn... and type msconfig.

Goto the system.ini tab and under 386enh you should find the device pointing to the file with the wrong pathname. edit the ppath and restart.

Try to reinstall first though.
