Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Setup / June 2006Win98SE Installation problems (Win2k dual boot)
Hi, I just added Win98SE to my Win2k system in a dual boot configuration. Win2k still works which is good since that is my primary system. The basic Win98SE works except for the network. During installation I got the usual "Unknown Device" errors, most of which were fixed when I installed the motherboard (Intel)drivers. After some initial issues installing the on-board Ethernet driver I was able to install it and the "?" no longer appears in the Device Manager screen. However, during boot up there is an error message about missing files such as vnetbios.vxd vredir.vxd msnp32.dll as well as problems with Microsoft Network. How do I reinstall the Microsoft Network part of Win98SE to clear up these errors? Also, will this affect the Win2k installation?

I can now browse the web but I still get the error messages at startup (missing vnetbios.vxd, vredir.vxd, dfs.vxd as well as the msnp32.dll error dialog box). Also, the system is unstable. It often reboots after I close IE. It also sometimes hangs on reboot after the missing dfs.vxd message. Do yo have any further suggestions?

I tried restoring msnp32.dll to the Windows\System directory but that did not get rid of the error box, probably because destination folder was incorrect. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Removing and reinstalling "Client for Microsoft Networks" appears to have solved it.
