System Ini File problems

[Richard_Cranium72]

I hate 95, all I've had with the three copies, oh well, After a fresh "Recovery"(Compac p100) I get errors; "missing nwlink.vxd, nwredir.vxd, nscl.vxd, v.redir.vxd, nwlink.vxd, vdis.vxd, vnetbios.vxd, ndis2sup.vxd and did you delete some device...System Ini File something at the top, then to Win95 and nwp32.dll and msnp32.dll. I thought I'd been careful not to delete anything, went over it several times. any thought patterns, it's down to 4hr sleep if I get it going tonight, by deadline. don't stone me, I'm stupid I know.. thanks uno who

You say a "fresh" recovery, am I to assume this means a format then re-installation of windows? If so then you should not be having these problems. If it was one of those useless "corporate cover my **** recovery discs" then you may be out of luck.

Otherwise, try to locate these files in the CAB files on the Win95 CD. Alternatively, you can try to track down what was removed and took the files with it, it looks like a load of network drivers to me...perhaps a Novell product (grasping at straws here)?

HTH

~edit~ actually they look like the drivers for a network card, do you have one? ~edit end~

We just had a customer come in the other day with a similar problem on boot. Most of the same files were showing missing in the registry or System.ini. There was no net card installed so we went in and deleted all the net protocols and other non-essential net devices and the boot was clean.

I would have to ask the same question - was the clean install a recovery disk?

Yea, a useless Compac recovery cd/floppy combo. I had a similar prob with another unit but can't think what I did to solve it. Thanks,

Those files are network related for sure...
I've seen this many times when a network card or Network protocals are installed/uninstalled incorrectly or become messed up...
Write down any important network info such as dns server, IP addresses and anything you need to connect to the internet or your network then Remove all networking components then reboot. Reinstall only the networking components you need for network connectivity..

Hope this helps

thanks folks, it took the third format to fix.. The prob is seems was edo ram, s/b fpm. The system would see it, but on installing programs the little system resources guide showed zero.. took out the 16mb ram and the thing worked right.. wierd.. saw on Compaqs site where some folks were having similar probs. Might be same? Who Knows? Thanks again
