I get an error msg., z:vvinesd.386 device file. What is this device file and what is it from, (program or driver)? If it is not needed, how do I get rid of it,as it is on screen every start up. Press key and it goes away. Also outlook express is very slow opening. I just went on to cable Modem and networked two p/c's to an Linksys router,4 port. I get on line ok on both p/c's. Any help would greatly appreciated.

Thanks,This is a great site. Dave S

The setting you are looking for will be found in the registry First

make a registry backup for safety Then click Start, Run, type Regedit

and press OK, click Edit, Find, type "vvinesd.386" (no quotes).

The key containing this unecessary value will be located, and can be

deleted The boot process should no longer find it.
